Didn't have the Alberta government trying to legalize canned fenced hunts as "red tape reduction" in Bill 10 on my bingo card. This will be very controversial. www.assembly.ab.ca/assembly-bus...

Lesueur Ridge in the Ghost Public Land Use Zone is a beautiful little September hike

Good news out of Alberta - the final legal establishment of the expanded Gipsy-Gordon Wildland Provincial Park covering more than 186,000 hectares of boreal forest. First announced in 2012 as part of the Lower Athabasca Regional Plan www.alberta.ca/release.cfm?...

Evergreen comparison table of how Alberta unfairly treats management of renewables compared to oil and gas

Signal they are hearing lots of pushback but the real change would be to commit to cancel the hundreds of thousands of hectares of coal leases that were granted in 2020. Closing the barn door too late. Here’s Crescent Falls #ableg

Here are the coal leases (in black) many of which were sold when the Alberta Government removed the coal policy in 2020. Cancelling all these leases would be necessary to show the Alberta Government is serious about protecting the Eastern Slopes.

Government of Alberta sold hundreds of thousands of hectares of coal leases when they removed the coal policy 4 years ago and they haven’t cancelled them. Landscapes like around Crescent Falls still not permanently protected #abcoal #ableg

Remember in March 2022 when the Alberta Government said there’d be no changes to coal policy until land use planning was completed kings-printer.alberta.ca/Documents/Mi...

In Gov.of AB's announcement to "ensure pristine viewscapes are conserved through the establishment of buffer zones" wind energy was banned in 70,000km2 of AB's mountains. Here are some impacts that are still allowed. Can we have consistency and fairness in protecting our precious Eastern Slopes?

Still assessing impacts of new rules for renewables in AB. One thing that jumps out, is that AB's new no go zone for wind projects at 70,384km2 is almost twice as large as its no go (Category 1) zone for coal mining at 41,551km2. Don't think that passes fairness test. open.alberta.ca/dataset/fb73...
