Certainly. Makes great sense for the foreign coal companies and for whatever politicians have been 'lobbied'. But not for Albertans. Dirty business. Generational ranch families who've been excellent conservationists for 100+ yrs have the moral authority here, not politicians.

@marco_huigenbos @CorbLund What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his very soul... No mining on the Eastern Slopes....

@ASkognes @CorbLund Sorry, I don't think that's what this piece of scripture means.

@marco_huigenbos @CorbLund Why not put up some wind turbines and solar panels and LEAVE THE MOUNTAINS ALONE

@JohnMar28988436 @CorbLund So, your argument is not in my backyard? Solar panels are environment friendly? Different discussion as this coal is used in the process of making steel.

@marco_huigenbos @CorbLund And can we get some clarification on what the hell “responsible resource development’ is?!? Like , ‘responsible to the f’n shareholders’ is about all their good for. Give ur head a shake, Marco.

@marco_huigenbos @CorbLund Clean water #1 !!

@marco_huigenbos @CorbLund So responsible like all the orphaned and abandon wells in this province, unreclaimed coals sites already exist in AB. Don't believe a foreign company (ieBenga) would do anything given their track record in Australia.

@marco_huigenbos @CorbLund Albertans who want safe drinking water would disagree with you.

@marco_huigenbos @CorbLund Marco have you driven through the pass any time in the last 3 or so years? Place is plastered with “no grassy mountain” signs. Nobody, including the people of Crowsnest, or anyone downstream, want this shit destroying the mountains

@marco_huigenbos @CorbLund Psycho

@marco_huigenbos @CorbLund Imagine coming all the way from the Netherlands just to cheer on the destruction of Canadian lands for a few bucks but a lifetime of destruction. Not everything needs to be exploited for profit Marco. Very disappointing.

@marco_huigenbos @CorbLund How would you know what the people in Crow’s Nest Pass want? Your participation in closing the Coutt’s border crossing shows where your loyalties are, and they’re certainly not with Albertans!

@marco_huigenbos @CorbLund

@marco_huigenbos @CorbLund UCPEE all ways moves the coma by one on their numbers should read 100.00 people from the Pass as all the previous numbers have said 100 workers for the mine UCPEE has a hard time with math when it comes to Albertans

@marco_huigenbos @CorbLund

@marco_huigenbos @CorbLund

@marco_huigenbos @CorbLund Oh son, open pit coal mines are not "responsible resource development."

@marco_huigenbos @CorbLund responsible resource development goes not endanger the drinking water for humans and livestock of southern alberta .all the towns and city's along highway 3 depend on safe water. coal mining endangers that and there is no remedy to selenium

@marco_huigenbos @CorbLund Some Albertans will have a job for a bit, but the profits will leave Alberta, leaving the environmental damage behind.

@marco_huigenbos @CorbLund Albertans have already spoken on this. Run an election on it cowards.
