Listening to Robin Campbell on @AlbertaatNoon trying to convince listeners that the environmental issues around coal in BC are a "legacy issue" and wouldn't apply here is one huge eye roll.
Guess what coal mining in the Eastern Slopes will become in 20 years? #AbLeg

Now he's touting the water monitoring for Grassy Mountain.
This is just not true. The monitoring amounts to a "a plan to plan" if something goes wrong.
The fact is that Grassy will destroy endangered trout habitat no matter the quality of environmental monitoring #AbLeg

Now he doesn't want to comment on the UCP's handling of coal issues. I can think of one reason why.
He's hand in hand with this government and past governments. So much so that this happened a few years ago https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbc.ca/amp/1.3522472

Coal mining in the Eastern Slopes arose entirely at the behest of the industry and the Coal Association that Robin Campbell represents.
Let's not forget just a few short days ago we learned the UCP didn't even consider coal's effect on tourism #AbLeg https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbc.ca/amp/1.5999194

Ugh now a few arguments that if we don't mine this coal we won't be able to drive cars.
Guess what? Great! Let's drive fewer cars and rely on other modes of transportation.
This also makes no sense. Steel is one of the most recycled materials and we're close to non-coal tech.

The writing is on the wall for metallurgical coal.
The last people we should be listening to when considering its development are those in the industry and our government who will benefit from this.
It's bad for the environment and it's bad for Alberta. End of story #AbLeg
