Opposing the Tent Mountain Mine Redevelopment Project

I strongly oppose the Tent Mountain Mine Redevelopment Project. The damage that has already been done, continues to be done, and is being proposed through "redevelopment" has had, and will have devastating environmental, cultural and social effects on an already traumatized landscape and peoples. Coal mining needs to stop. It flies in the the face of, and is counter productive to truth and reconciliation work and climate crisis actions. Any continued (they are in there now, punching in roads and destroying habitat and sacred land), and any further proposed development is making it impossible for us to realize even the most baseline health outcomes. I'm stating the obvious here. No water = No future. This place, this landscape is our context. To use an antiquated term, I implore you, the federal government of Canada to intervene, not only in support of Alberta and Albertans, but for all Canadians. We are all in this story together. 

Respectfully,
