Alberta pays out another $95 million in hush money to hide promises made to coal speculators
Now it’s keeping the settlement terms secret from the taxpayers who must cough up the cash.
Evolve Power, aka Montem Resources, nabbed $95 million from an Alberta government desperate to keep secret the deals and promises it made to a gang of Australian coal speculators.


Tell me again maple maga about how your government is so much better than.
Time to be honest you knuckle draggers, your premier is an incompetent fool who has wasted more of our money. No wonder she wants control of the pensions, she’d fuck that away too.
So maple mage, name one thing she’s done that advantages ALL ALBERTANS not just her “friends”
Alberta’s former energy minister is being ordered to testify in an upcoming $15-billion coal lawsuit.
Sonya Savage was energy minister in 2022, when the UCP government reversed course on plans to reopen coal mining in Alberta.
The companies are suing the province for more than $15 billion.
They argue the decision to prevent mines from going ahead resulted in a “de facto expropriation” of their assets.
The court case is expected to begin in April 2025.
