-Coal mining is the process of extracting coal from the ground.
-There are two methods of coal mining: surface and underground .
-Surface mining: The overload of soil and rock is first broken up by explosives, then is  removed by a shovel and truck. Once the coal seam is exposed, it is drilled, fractured and systematically mined in strips. The coal is then loaded on to large trucks for transport to either the coal preparation plant where it will be used.
-There are two methods of underground mining:  room-and-pillar and longwall mining.
1. Room-and-pillar:  large pillars of coal are left standing to help support the roof of the mine, more than half of the coal remains intact as supporting pillars to maintain the unity of the surface land. The end result is a grid of open space cleared by a continuous miner machine and separated by pillars.
2. Longwall: The mining machines consist of multiple coal shearers mounted on a series of hydraulic ceiling supports. The massive shearers cut coal from a wall face, which falls onto a conveyor belt for removal.  As they finish, the roof behind the miner's path starts to collapse.
- Some products from this industry include: aspirins, soap, dyes, solvents, plastics, and fibers.

Environmental: As the issue of climate change is becoming more and more recognized as a problem, coal is bound to fall out of use due to citizens using green and renewable ways to get their energy.

Economic: Coal is a cheap and reliable way to generate energy. Canada, being a developed country is more likely to stray away from coal and switch to renewable energy sources. This would affect the economic status of the coal industry as its usage would decrease.

Social: Citizens play a big role on how the government spends their money. Environmentalist are already protesting in various parts of Canada, trying to get the government to further invest in  renewable energy sources.

Below is an example of a protest in Canada. The protest's purpose was to stop mining in Canada.
