EDMONTON — Documents released under Alberta Freedom of Information laws confirm the United Conservative government was talking with the coal industry for years about relaxing a policy that protected the Rocky Mountains from open-pit mines.

The documents also show the province was talking about opening those landscapes to more development generally for at least seven months before letting the public in on its plans.

A judge last week stymied government attempts to block further releases and the ranchers are now waiting for thousands more pages.
