Corb Lund’s Coal Fight Continues | Edmonton News
Description
Country music icon Corb Lund’s six-year battle to stop new coal mining in Alberta’s Eastern Slopes hits a major roadblock — his petition was rejected by Elections Alberta, despite collecting over 207,000 signatures. Frustrated by what he calls regulatory surprises and environmental risks to water, Lund and his group Water Not Coal are now eyeing judicial review. Elections Alberta defended its verification process, but Lund raised alarms over questionable contact methods. Though the petition failed, the Premier says protective steps have already been taken — but Lund’s fight isn’t over, and the debate rages on.
