Dear Editor
We have witnessed, from south of the border, the terrible things one man can do when he gets the power. All the men like that are not located in other countries. Witness what the premier of Alberta secretly planned regarding strip coal mining; a project that would destroy the headwaters of all the rivers flowing through Saskatchewan and scar the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains forever.
The person who is now premier of Saskatchewan has said nothing. He is quick to blame the Government of Canada for everything from COVID-19 to hangnails, however. Meanwhile, his own environmental record is not so good.
Just remember this: whenever a government chants about any mega-project, “Jobs, jobs, jobs,” rest assured those jobs will destroy the environment and quite often the people who work at those jobs.
And the coal companies how thought they’d run the projects are not Canadian. How typical of what goes on in Canada.
I could urge the people of Saskatchewan to complain to the government of this province but I’d be wasting my time.
I think people who would have done so are dead.

P.S. Yes, I have written to both premiers.
