And Canadians are going to build a pipeline in the corrupt UPC backyard. What a disgrace Danielle Smith is. Carney will regret the day he gets embroiled with this separatist bonehead. This will be the latest in a long line of scandals. Canadians need to avoid this dumpster fire.
Well, well, well….no surprises here. It should be noted that UNESCO has threatened to remove the World Heritage site designation for the Great Barrier Reef if Australia continues constructing the new coal tanker dock into the reef because the hulls of fully loaded tankers will destroy the coral reef.
Albertan's know what they were getting with Smith and the UCP; Mannings' Reform in drag ( apologies - couldn't resist the double entendre). Smith makes one opine for Naughty. The idea of a NDP government in AB freaks people out because they have bought into the Maple MAGA flavours in their political bigotry.
While Albertans are busy fighting this government on other fronts, these pluckers are quietly paying out settlements and colluding with a shiver of white sharks from Australia hell bent on destroying our mountains and our limited water supply for a product that is less profitable than trout fishing tourism. Alberta garnered a paltry 23 million dollars from coal royalties in 2023. Angling contributed 65 million in 2020.
And it gets better 🤬 Valory Resources has stated that they have settled their 1.6 bil lawsuit with the UCP who has been making more backroom deals like they have before this coal policy was rescinded in 2020 after being in place for 44 years.
"Valory Resources, which wants to build a massive underground mine near Nordegg under 15,000 hectares of public land, told The Tyee that it has settled its lawsuit.
After the government cancelled its moratorium on coal exploration last January, Valory’s legal claim shifted “from a permanent expropriation claim to a temporary expropriation claim,” said Glenn Vassallo, head of corporate and project finance for Valory, in an email. Given the complicated nature of such a claim, “both Valory and the Alberta Government mutually agreed to settle and discontinue the claim.”
Asked if the Alberta Energy Regulator’s unprecedented cancelling of a public hearing on another Valory project was part of the mutual agreement, Vassallo replied, “No it was not.”
So they not only got paid out with Alberta taxpayer's money who have not been informed by their own government, but worse... it appears they will be able to go ahead and mine in Category 2 land in the Clearwater County that is in the largest area of Headwaters that supply freshwater for over 80% of Albertans and has no Metallurgical Coal Mines because Premier Lougheed protected it for this very reason!
ALBERTANS HAVE TO STOP THIS INVASION AND PROTECT OUR EASTERN SLOPES AND FRESHWATER NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!

And they definitely don't give a darn about the environment and the irreparable harm being done. All of this affects us and future generations but as long as they get rich, they don't care.
Outrageous but hardly a surprise....rip and ship multinationals have long called and still do call the shots in Canadian politics...

Streaked blonde hair, push up bra, Botox. Danielle will torch us on the alter of Trump.
Completely captured by industry, Alberta is.

Just more proof of how corrupt the UCP government is and how little they care about constituents.
And they definitely don't give a darn about the environment and the irreparable harm being done. All of this affects us and future generations but as long as they get rich, they don't care.
