Corb Lund Leads Water Not Coal Push

Country star Corb Lund’s team just wrapped up a massive grassroots campaign—riding horses from Longview to Edmonton, knocking on doors with over 3,000 volunteers—to gather 178,000 signatures demanding a halt to new coal mining in Alberta’s Rockies. Their “Water Not Coal” petition, aimed at protecting vital water sources, is set to be handed to Elections Alberta on Wednesday. If verified, it could force Premier Danielle Smith’s government to either ban the mining or put it to a provincial vote—making this one of the most consequential environmental petitions in Alberta’s history.
