The company that had its application for a coal exploration project in the eastern slopes of the Rockies cancelled by the Canadian government is trying to revive the idea.
However, an Alberta country music star hopes there's enough opposition left to cancel the project again.
Corb Lund, who has long been a vocal advocate of protecting the Rocky Mountain foothills from coal mining, is rejecting the new idea altogether and wants Albertans to do the same. "I'm not anti-resource as usual, I'm also non-partisan; I don't really trust any politician. But this particular idea, resource extraction aside, is a particularly dumb one," he said on social media this week.
