The Kenney government lifted the 1976 moratorium on coal mining in the Rockies; the public rose up in anger; the Kenney govt backtracked and returned the moratorium.
Smith and Jean have just listed the moratorium again. Will the public respond? Once more unto the breach??? #abpoli

Breaking. Minister Jean lifts the coal moratorium. No doubt a response to the compensation claims.

Good journalism like this is rare in Alberta.
The public needs to know that HOW coal mining is prevented is as important as the prevention - to avoid having to compensate companies with coal rights (regulatory rather than political decisions preferred).

The federal Chief Actuary has released their analysis of what Alberta would receive should it exit the CPP.
It's clear and accessible; give it a read: www.osfi-bsif.gc.ca/en/oca/oca-...
TL;DR: The Government of Alberta's 53% share is rejected. I'll explain. #cdnecon #cdnpoli
