The Kenney government lifted the 1976 moratorium on coal mining in the Rockies; the public rose up in anger; the Kenney govt backtracked and returned the moratorium.

Smith and Jean have just listed the moratorium again. Will the public respond? Once more unto the breach??? #abpoli

I’m part of a group that strongly objects to Grassy Mountain. We will be marching in Pincher Creek Jan 3, then Fort Macleod & Lethbridge plus attending AER hearings in Calgary Jan 14&15. Yes LLG is still fighting. They will present @AER hearings.

Authors of new book “The Great Right North” explain.
