It is hard not to lose hope, but articles like this remind me that there are people who care. It is all so bizarre, I don't know how we are not marching in the streets. I asked a longtime friend to sign my 'anti coal-mining' petition today and she said she would have to think about it. Unbelievable.

Hi Donna. Yes, it is unbelievable to any of us who make an effort to be informed. If that is the case with your friend, perhaps she needs to be part of a deeper conversation about this in order to understand. Petitions can make people wary. So many Albertans are so out of touch that it's flabbergasting. I hope your friend can learn and find the good in signing. Have patience and thank you for writing.
