Episode Details

Corb Lund and his Water Not Coal group are hitting back after Elections Alberta rejected their massive petition to ban new coal mining in the Rockies — despite 200,000 signatures — citing verification failures like missing voter info and duplicate signatures. Lund calls the system rigged, and the group is now eyeing legal action, including judicial review, while demanding a pause on all new coal projects. The fight centers on the Grassy Mountain mine, which Lund’s team has opposed for six years. Meanwhile, the Coal Association of Canada frames the rejection as proof Albertans support responsible, evidence-based mining, while Northback Holdings plans to resubmit a revised proposal later this year — even though the Alberta Energy Regulator has only approved exploration so far.
