- It's 2021.
- It's difficult to know what to write, given that it seems so obvious to me (a trained scientist) that new coal mines should not be discussed during a climate emergency, especially for a province that has abundant sun and wind, and potential for geothermal energy. If you do not already grasp this, then I don't think there is anything else I can say to convince you. It has been talked about loud and clear for the past 10 years, the past two years especially - in 2019 a series of climate rallies were held, culminating one which 10,000 Albertans marched through Edmonton to rally against inaction on climate change. The scientific concept of GHGs causing a climate emergency isn't even difficult to grasp, so if you can't do so then you are likely not fit to be in office. Children can grasp it. Ask a child if they think we should destroy mountains so we can pollute the water and atmosphere and they will wonder which super villain you are, or whether you think you live in ...

- Backwards and dangerous
- I am writing this comment to express my concern over this project. Having spoken with several individuals who are knowledgeable and educated on the subject, I would beg the government to please reconsider. The damage to wildlife habitats in the area and down stream. As well, there is significant risk to downstream water drinkers and users (especially the agricultural sector) that stand to be at risk over containment's. Finally, the further funding of coal and coal energies is backwards and begging for failure. This money could instead be used in a resource development in more sustainable sources. thank you for reading, please reconsider.

- Concerned with changing policy and approving open pit coal mines
- Having lived, worked and recreated in Southern Alberta all my life, I am very concerned with the UCP policy to allow open pit coal mines in some of the most pristine areas of our province. While I understand there is potential for substantial economic benefit to the Crowsnest pass region of our province, i am not convinced that this benefit will be there long term as the world seeks more sustainable means of developing resources. My biggest concern is with the impact on our wildlands and the species like West Slope Cutthroad and Grizzly Bear that rely on clean water and air. My concern is really with what happens if economics deem these projects uneconomic and will the rest of Albertans be on the hook for the remediation of these lands once foreign interests abandon them. I think this decision could lead to an avalanche of additional mines which I dont believe the environmental impacts of each individual project have taken into account and would therefore ask that ...

- Please cancel Grassy Mountain Coal Mine Project
- The Grassy Mountain Coal Mine Project risks the irriversible contamination of the watershed of southern Alberta and our southern ranching, farming, and indigenous communities. We cannot risk the loss of the quality and quantity of water in Southern Alberta. Please reject and cancel this project.
