I had posted some time ago about the Riplinger windmill project that is slated for the Waterton area and trying to get it stopped. Angela Tabak who used to be one of the DS locals group has been working diligently to get citizens concerns heard and this project shut down. The damage not only to the local economy but the wildlife in this migration path would be devastating and they need to stop it now. If you feel compelled please give TransAlta a call and leave a message with your concerns.
A quick reminder...
If you haven't yet called TransAlta's Riplinger Hotline to register your opposition to this project, please take a minute to do so. They will be reporting the number of people who called to the AUC when they make application. We cannot have them report that only a small number of community members called and were opposed.
You will be asked to leave a message. Super quick and easy.

In operational terms, Alberta is closer to statehood than most sovereign countries ever were on the eve of independence. The infrastructure is in place. The personnel are in place.
The institutions are in place. What remains is a deliberate, orderly transfer of authority.”
Thank God there is one judge following law & common sense than to take someone’s livelihood away from them, rather than following ideological crap!
Freedom Convoy organizer Chris Barber will be able to keep his long-haul truck “Big Red” after a judge dismissed the Crown’s application to seize the vehicle used in the 2022 protest.
“The Crown’s application for the forfeiture of Big Red is denied, the court having found forfeiture of Big Red to be disproportionate,” Justice Heather Perkins-McVey said on Dec. 19.
Perkins-McVey said while the truck was used as offence-related property for the protest, forfeiture would have been disproportionate because the truck is used for Barber’s business and there is “no evidence” that Big Red will be used in future criminal offences.
“On the contrary, the evidence suggests that Big Red will continue to be used for its legitimate and intended commercial purposes as a work truck in the future, much the same way as it has been used since its purchase ...
