@jansplanet@sonyasavage Well after completing this coal engagement survey, it is very clear that AE will use the data collected to discredit the views of Albertans. They are more interested in education of Albertans on how well they manage the development of COAL TODAY. #NoCoalAB#ableg
@jansplanet@sonyasavage Coal Committee members should have their related Coal activities published. 1) Fred Bradley is firmly in favour of Grassy Mountain Coal project! firm supporter of COAL MINING! #NoCoalAB#ableg
@jansplanet@sonyasavage 2) Ron Wallace, is clearly in favour of resource exploitation. He is on record lamenting strong government action against groups standing up for their rights, and that Canada becomes economically poorer as a result. He is committee chair and bias to UCP! #NoCoalAB#ableg
@jansplanet@sonyasavage 3) Natalie Charlton is invested in the businesses of Hinton. Economy based on coal mining, forestry, oil & gas and tourism. Hinton attributes lifestyle to Coal mining and pulp and paper. UCP believes in coal mining contributions to local economic development. #NoCoalAB#ableg
@jansplanet@sonyasavage 4) Bill Trafford represents the Livingston Land Owners, who for the majority, are against large scale commercial development of any sort. I have not heard Bill make a statement. He has former ties to AHS. Most likely interested in preserving Eastern Slopes. #NoCoalAB#ableg
@jansplanet@sonyasavage 5) Eric North Piegan’s position is unknown. Chief and Council of the Piikani Nation agreed to the Grassy Mountain project in order to participate in the economic benefits for the Nation. Some members are not happy with the Nations’ position on Grassy Mountain. #NoCoalAB#ableg
@jansplanet@sonyasavage Overall, I see the committee members stacked in favour of Coal Development, with the focus on local economic benefit. Where are the representatives for the environmental impact, loss of recreation, loss of tourism, and the downstream towns and villages? #NoCoalAB#ableg
