Canada exported 30 million tonnes and imported 6million tonnes.In 2016,the government of Canada said its plan to stop the use of traditional coal fired electricity in Canada by 2030

How coal is mined
Air had to be maintained at all times. Water was pumped many times. They mine tunnels extended far out under the ocean floor. Coal dust and gas floated through these mines. Even the smallest spark or flame could cause a massive explosion. Miners dug drifts, or horizontally from a shaft. Coal was dug and extracted on carts
