I mean, from a rural perspective they tried to ram through a mining deal on the eastern slopes that would have crippled the water supply for farming and ranching in Southern alberta past calgary.
Grassroots movement put a hold on that, led primarily by ranchers with an assist from internet environmental nutjobs. Ucp managed to get those two groups together, which is a bit of a hallmark moment.

That mining thing alone could cost us billions.

An Australian coal company is alleging that Alberta is liable for billions after reversing course on policy tied to coal development in the province.
As first reported by the Calgary Herald, Atrum Coal Ltd., along with its subsidiary, Elan Coal Ltd., says it is seeking $3.53 billion, tied to the value of its Elan Project. It is also seeking an additional $300 million for losses to shareholders.
It claims recent actions surrounding Alberta's 1976 coal policy forced Atrum's share price to plummet and deprived the companies of the value of ongoing coal projects.
