I don’t live in Alberta but living in Saskatchewan puts me at risk of my water being contaminated by the coal mines in Alberta.
I appreciate the call to action by this post but calling the UCP government in protest of anything is absolutely pointless.
After Marc Carney is elected as our new Prime Minister I think everyone across the country should be lobbying his government to make a clear stand on environmental protection issues.
He has spoken about environmental protection being something he stands behind.
The liberal government shut down Jason Kenny.
The liberal government is the only one to shut down Danielle Smith and her gang of corrupt politicians.
I know prime Minister Carney will be very busy building Canada to protect us from the fascism south of the border but in his plans to link provinces and develop critical mineral development, he is going to have to honour environmental protection and first nations.
Oil and Gas corporations in Alberta, developers in major Canadian cities, Zionists both jewish and christian together with Ukrainian Canadian nationalists with foreign policy.......all these forces have stolen Canadian democracy with their undue influence.
I am sending this to also have this information from the Jobs, Economy, and Trade highlighting the active and inactive wells you can email economiclink@gov.ab.ca or subscribe to the monthly eNewsletter for the new edition of the Weekly Economic Highlights Update just released.
For the weekly updates on the number of active wells is up 6.0 percent from March 2024 when there was 60 and March 2025 there was 151 with 94 inactive rigs compared to 111 from 2024. Total #wells in 2024 was 262 and total #wells in 2025 254. Although looking at how the plans are going for the O&G companies Alberta produced 17.9M cubic meters of oil in February 2025, which was -1.9% lower than February 2024, when oil production was 18.2M cubic meters.
Not entirely off topic but we had a few additions onto the AEN email out including Donate https://aenweb.ca/donate or get an Alberta Beyond Coal lawn sign from AEN https://albertabeyondcoal.ca/lawn-sign/. The Council of Canadians Edmonton Chapter has an expert panel who will be talking about the water sovereignty in first weekend in June. We are hoping to RSVP the following speakers so stay tuned. The Edmonton Chapter plans an Expert Panel Webinar with speakers from hydrology, law, agriculture and biological sciences to discuss these threats. Here are some essential questions we hope to answer :
1) What are the current threats to Canadian prairie fresh water?
2) What tools do Canadians have to confront threats to our fresh water?
3) Can we transform concerns on our water sovereignty into action to conserve what we have?
SPEAKERS AND TOPICS TBA but our expert panel so far:
1) Dr. Tricia Stadnyk – U of C Hydrology - Impacts of regulation/water licensing, hydropower dams and climate change on water supply in the Canadian prairies. Quantity projections for western Canada.
2) Wendy Holm, P.Ag. - Peace River Hydoelectric Dams i.e. Existing Bennett and Site C dams, proposed Amisk Hydroelectric Dam, trade agreements and US Army Corps of Engineers continental plans to divert Alaskan water into the Peace River and south into the US via the Amisk dam.
3) Dr. Allen Good, Professor Emeritus, U of A Biological Sciences - International and interprovincial water agreements in Southern Alberta and Saskatchewan.
4) Martin Z. Olszynski, B.Sc. Associate Professor/Chair in Energy, Resources and Sustainability Faculty of Law, University of Calgary - Law on downstream impacts of water diversions and withdrawals such as hydroelectric dams.
5) ~ First Nations Speaker - TBA Seeking someone who has experienced first-hand the impact of large water diversions e.g. Site C Hydro Dam on the Peace River. Please contact us at the email if you know anyone who can be available.
Please join us to help determine the future of our most precious resource – water.
Maybe it’s time Governor Smith calls an Election?

Let’s put the pressure on to ensure that he does.
Let’s test his resolve straight out of the gate.
A bit off topic, and a few years old, but I am always grateful to people who understand the real value of the land.
