NEW: City of Calgary expects the water main break to be related to the Bearspaw South Feeder main, which ruptured in June 2024 and plunged the city into a summer of water restrictions amid a series of repairs. Emergency Operations Centre is opening tonight.

Quite the scathing 'epilogue' that Justice Feasby added to his decision, in response to legislation tabled by Alberta's UCP government just yesterday:
Judge says Bill 14 changes would 'silence the court' After arguments from lawyers representing a final group of First Nations who were granted intervenor status in the case, Feasby issued his decision from the bench Friday in the Calgary Court of King's Bench. He added what he called an "epilogue," which specifically addressed the impact of the proposed legislation. "The legal consequence of discontinuing this proceeding prior to a decision would be to silence the Court," he said. The judge called the move to change the legislation antithetical to the rule of law and democracy. "The public is entitled to the fruits of this process that has been conducted largely at their expense so that if they are asked to vote on Alberta independence, they have a tool that may help them make sense of the legal dimensions of the secession of Alberta from Canada." Feasby noted that the court case had been prioritized at the expense of other justice system participants waiting for their cases to be heard. "Alberta’s cavalier disregard for court resources and lack of consideration for the parties and First Nations intervenors who participated in this proceeding in good faith is disappointing to say the least."

A first for Alberta - a legislative petition, not just a policy petition, demanding the prohibition of all new coal mines (including Grassy) on the eastern slopes of the Rockies.
Way to go Corb.
