Good question. I will assume you would be prepared to consider the facts from engineers and scientists.
It’s answered at about ten minutes into the video where Mayor cites Selenium in water flowing into HR, and water removes from Highwood so lower flow; and, blowing up mountain tops and high hills and carving into areas of the Astern Slopes (plans are to do that for almost half the area between the base of the actual Rockies and the prairies) subverting recreation, ranching, hunting, and heritage values.
For Selenium, see various parts confirming effluent will communicate and bioaccumulate. Including in Western Stockgrowers (Lee Eddy) Including in GrainNewa (Ross McKenzie). Including AER 680 page findings f 2021 on Grassy over the Oldman.
I understand the concerns of the Pekisko Group and residents downstream of proposed mining operations, but I don't see how High River is directly and adversely affected by either Grassy Mountain, or any of the other mines that could go ahead?
Keen to hear facts that explain why High River has a pony in this race?
I think it the wise burghers of High River having the sagacity to try protect their entire watershed....kind of like trying to reduce co2 emmissions on the part of China and having climate deniers in North America say drill baby drill. Common Good?
Craig Snodgrass for Premier and Minister of Environment!

Yes Erik, you'd best watch the whole video before commenting.
How are things in WallaWombat, Qsld?
They're good thanks. Warm as always (and it's QLD).
I did watch the whole video and there is no science, just assertions without proof.
Again, how does the Selenium get into the High River? Take me through it from mine to river.
Maybe use a map.
Not just about Selenium, Erik.....check this out:https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03-27/land-court-call-for-ensham-coal-mine-plan-to-be-rejected/105100280
This is irrelevant to the discussion and my question. It's a deflection.
How is High River directly and adversely impacted by Grassy Mountain?
I think it the wise burghers of High River having the sagacity to try protect their entire watershed....kind of like trying to reduce co2 emmissions on the part of China and having climate deniers in North America say drill baby drill. Common Good?
What watershed is High River on?
What watershed is Grassy Mountain on?
The metaphor to CO2 in China is meaningless.
@ErikFisher...There's a good map in this article.
