And then five, six years ago, I guess, 2020, a friend of a friend approached me through our common connection.

And she ranches west of Nanton.

And there's a bunch of cattle producers out there, like generational ranchers, whose places were under...

threat by strip mining due to the rescinding of the 1976 Lougheed coal policy by the county government without any mandate or public consultation.

They did it very quietly.

And I didn't know anything about it.

And I was sympathetic because we have, like the ranch I mentioned earlier, our place is down in southwestern Alberta.

We've had it since 1902.

And the Blackfoot took care of it before that.

And we've spent...

I wrote every inch of that place with my grandfather, and every day he would comment about the creek level and the quality of how murky or how clear the creek was and how high it was compared to last year, and also his soil health.

So the idea of being a steward of generational land has been ingrained in me since I was a kid.

So anyway, our place in Karst is not threatened by these mines, but when I heard that other families had their places mined,

jeopardized by these potential mines, I was sympathetic.

And so I spent about six weeks, because it was during COVID, so I wasn't touring.

So I spent about six weeks educating myself.

And I met with more pro-coal people than anti-coal people, frankly.

I met with government ministers and coal CEOs and the coal lobbyists.

And I did a ton of reading and meetings.

And I didn't really have a dog in the fight.
