Lougheed was right to protect Alberta’s mountains

Watching Jason Kenney spread one more lie on TV didn’t surprise me.  

The guy has proven to be an habitual liar.  He claims B.C. is mining coal safely and Alberta should allow it also on the Eastern Slopes. 

Yet we learned last March that Teck Coal Limited pleaded guilty to polluting waters in B.C. and Montana and were fined $60 million. 

Can you imagine what would happen if Albertans allowed Kenney to pollute the Mississippi River when it’s headwaters are the Milk River in southern Alberta?  Our hero Peter Lougheed was right to put protection on our mountains so this could never happen. 

How stupid does Kenney think we are?

Our farmers and ranchers have certainly proven they aren’t dumb enough to buy into this lame-brain scheme.
