This whole story is just criminal. Three cougars that will never increase the population of their species in this province. Todd Loewen allowed this to all happen under his watch.....er conflict of interest. Most Albertans value the conservation of wildlife and parkland in this province. We got a failing grade for about only 15% of our pledged 30% of the lands and water to be protected in internationally agreed on targets. Epic fail for the UCP!

The latest one that shows that the UCP are not conservationists is Todd Loewen allowing 14 year olds the right to run around without an adult in sight to use their laser hunting scopes and shoot cougars. Those are three different new legislations all wrapped in one big loss for wildlife in one scenario. All for Loewen's huge conflict of interest in a guiding and hunting business that is family owned.

They have been trying to the Government to get rid of the loop holes for nine years, so I don't think it is the Municipalities that have been causing the problem. If I didn't pay my taxes someone would come and repossess my property and probably throw me in jail as well. Time to get the AER to not be bought and paid for by the oil, gas and coal companies....self regulation doesn't work and never will.

Todd Loewen has a conflict of interest. Now he makes it possible to use laser scopes. Protecting our wildlife is not in his “scope”….not even close. He should be removed from this ministry before all our big game animals are on the threatened species list!

Just watch this government let them. Out of sight ..out of mind. Except the Alberta people have a brain. The majority of the people in Alberta are very tired of resource businesses getting away with making our water toxic by not being held accountable for the toxins and eyesores these resource extraction companies are by law supposed to clean up.

I am both angry and appalled. Guess what... Any surprise? That my letter to the unhonourable minister Loewen didn't even get a form letter back to me? I am disgusted by the corruption of the UCP. He doesn't own the company anymore as his brother "bought him out" and Todd's son works for this brother......where is the conflict of interest? Really pretty well right in front of the UCP caucus.

It actually is criminal. Disgusting UCP policies that are not based in science. Maybe those hunters should be treed by their dogs and then shot. UCP are unethical and money hungry criminals filling their own pockets. It is like they have their own little kingdom that we are just the peons. I am beyond done with this government and their corruption.

There is no known way to mitigate selenium. Never done period…tech spent over $1B and failed. They off loaded this liability to Glencoe. This government is acting like their king south of us. Dig baby dig. Just asinine and dangerous
