Corb Lund’s Water Not Coal Petition Wins

Country artist and rancher Corb Lund just pulled off a major victory—his “Water Not Coal” petition has officially hit 178,000 signatures, demanding an end to coal mining on the eastern slopes of the Rockies, a critical watershed for rivers like the Athabasca and Oldman. After a previous attempt was canceled due to legislative changes, Lund restarted the campaign and finally got approval in January. With just one day left to submit the verified petition to Elections Alberta, success could force the province to ban coal mining or put it to a public vote—marking a pivotal moment in protecting Alberta’s vital water sources.
