Liberal Leader Mark Carney pitched Alberta as the heart of a new superpower in both clean and conventional energy Tuesday night as part of his first campaign stop in the province. "I thought I was in Calgary," Carney said of the reception from the crowd of more than 1,000 that had gathered at the Red & White Club at McMahon Stadium in Calgary, the home of the CFL's Calgary Stampeders. "This is amazing!"

ATTENTION ALBERTANS!! Want to protect our mountains from greed and pollution? You can help!

In 2021 Albertans and over 50 groups worked hard to protect Alberta's watershed and mountains from mining that would pollute the environment and cause health problems for both animals and humans. However, now the Alberta government is trying to get rid of the mining ban that was put in place to protect the environment for their own greed.

Theyre planning on mining the entirety of the Eastern Slopes of Rockies in Alberta from Crowsnest Pass to Rocky Mountain House. It is inevitable that Selenium, which is toxic, will leech into the water and soil from the mining that would occur, and this has happened in B.C, (and nobody knows how to stop it), which ruined its economy there. The damage that would result in the mining would cause cancer in miners and nearby residents, poison the soil and any agriculture from that area (of which there are many), and make the water toxic. Furthermore, 90% of Alberta's water demand comes from the southern half of the province, which is where the mining is taking place. The effects of these protections would be incredibly DEVASTATING on not just Albertans, but the land, the animals, and others, including our economy, which is the same thing that happened with Elk Valley, B.C.

So how can you help?

Sign the petition below to Restore Alberta's Coal mining ban to ensure a better, safer, more clean future for Albertans and the environment!!!

Furthermore, if you've got time today, below are some numbers you can call to tell the gov how you disapprove of the mining project.

(780-427-3740) for Brian Jean, the Minister of Energy and Minerals

(780-427-2391) for Rebecca Shultz, Minister of Environment and Protected Areas

Jasper, a town in Alberta, Canada, was recently taken over by a tragic wildfire. As of July 26, 2024 at least 30% of the town has been destroyed, 358 out of 1,133 structures, with 25,000+ residents being forcibly evacuated for safety.

The Alberta government had cut back millions in funding for wildfire preparedness programs, leaving residents of Jasper floundering with little to no support while the United Conservative Party of Alberta fumbled its way through an arbitrary Treasury Board process trying to justify their decision to wait seven days before responding to emergencies.

Behold the dazzling colors of an iridescent ammonite (Placenticeras intercalare)! A relative of today’s squids, this ammonite lived some 80 million years ago near what is now Alberta, Canada. This fossil’s spectacular coloration is the result of millions of years of high temperatures and pressures. As these forces acted on nacre in this ammonite’s shell, it was transformed into a gemstone known as an ammolite. Along with amber and pearl, ammolite is one of only a handful of gems made by living organisms. You can spot this rare specimen in the Louis V. Gerstner, Jr. Collections Core in the Museum’s Richard Gilder Center for Science, Education, and Innovation!
