Great video Corb. This song means a lot to me, and to everyone else living on the Prairies.

[@Caperhere]

I’m so relieved to find this song. I thought everyone in Alberta wanted big oil. Good to know there are some sensible people out west.

[@googlesucks7954]

The real issue is as to whether there are any sensible people in Central Canada and the East. Once upon time not long ago there were a lot more farms in the west, small, family run, mixed farms that were environmentally sensitive in that they were not pesticide and herbicide reliant, had chickens and pigs that saw daylight and got to go outside, and produced crops that were shipped almost exclusively by rail. You voted for political parties and politicians who enacted policies that killed these farms, so now a lot of crops are shipped significant distances by semitrailer -- bad for the environment and our roadways and creating greater public danger, and your pigs and chickens and turkeys are raised in environments where they never see the light of day. The small farms are gone and so are the villages and many of the towns that supplied them and so are the small elevators that once dominated the landscape.

They tried to take farms in Pennsylvania until they ran into a very angry veteran who stopped them in their tracks by attacking the pipeline with bombs and bullets and blowing up equipment.

[@dickvarga6908]

anti oil activists in Alberta have a tendency to get accused of blowing up pumps etc and finding their neighbour was an RCMP informer, they have the SWAT team & snipers coming on their land and zeroing in on them in unarmed demonstrations, local idiots tearing around their property at night scaring children & livestock, no police respond ...

Well that’s dumb as hell pipelines are more environmentally friendly then using 10/000 diesel trucks to move it around

[@Lord_Ronin_The_Compassionate]

@@NoCoverCharge Sorry mate, but you’re missing the point - deliberately or otherwise, only you know. Pipelines were ok for a while but humanity needs to move away from sucking the teat of fossil fuels. It might be too late to stop/reduce the effects of global warming but it’s worth trying as it has never been a permanent source of power - there’s a limit to the amount of dinosaur poo available so the sooner humans wake up and accept this fact the easier the transition will be.

[@PaulRudd1941]

​@@dickvarga6908 the RCMP work for corporations not the people. Naturally. That's why when a tradesman has thousands of dollars of dollars of tools to theft the RCMP doesn't care, no response. But as soon as Walmart has a 250 dollar tv stolen, the RCMP show up with 2 or 3 squad cars and 4-5 officers. Fuck em'.

This is what is happing in the Dakotas with the major oil pipeline that is shipping the Oil to other countries that nobody in South Dakota who lives on the Missouri River want. If Oil from Fracking was not being sold to other countries it would not be nearly as bad.

[@yawyobwoc]

It's a nice song and I understand the sentiments but, and I hate to say it, this is just more of 'not in my backyard'. Those monster John Deere tractors used to plow up the prairie soil won't run on wind or solar. They use diesel and dozens of other petroleum based lubricants to keep that machinery operating. Ol Ted Kennedy was all for wind and solar power but when it was proposed that windmills be installed just off shore of Martha's Vineyard he decided that his backyard was not an appropriate location for those unsightly and annoying contraptions. The bottom line is, with 7 billion plus people crawling around 25% of the earths surface, we're all gonna have to give up some of our backyard to meet the energy demand and energy drives everything from food production to posting songs on the KZbins.

[@colonelhart5721]

I appreciate your rational take on the issue. What leftist hippies don't seem to understand is that industrialism made the current world population possible, and if we have to go back to a "sustainable" / "in tune with nature" way of supporting ourselves, that will involve a population crash. That will be very painful. I do not advocate causing more global warming, and hopefully some reasonable westerners can see that without a real agreement China and India will just do what the west already did, and ascend in terms of short-term power - while the whole species gets fucked in the long term. But I take your main point to be that people naively think that if it weren't for evil conspiratorial powers like Big Oil (okay they are evil and conspiratorial, but they can't alter the laws of physics) we could all support the population we have and pandas and polar bears would cutely flourish. All of that said, I appreciate Corb Lund's perspective - so much of country music is thoughtless garbage utterly unworthy of the one-time greats of Outlaw Country like Willie Nelson and Townes Van Zandt.

[@AlexR2648]

Landowners should get the price that they consider their mineral rights or pipeline leases to be worth. If they consider no price worthwhile they should be free to preserve the sanctity of their land, and if they name a fair price the oil companies should expect to pay for the privilege or find someone asking less.

[@colonelhart5721]

Gus McRae sorry for taking such a long time to respond but I just wanted to say that I am extremely sympathetic. I come from a farming background on both sides of my family, and I think the demise of the family farm in the west (in Canada in my case) as agribusiness takes over, is a tragedy for society and for the individuals involved. I also think that food producers ought to be respected and valued far more - what kind of society tells people to be marketers or bureaucrats or programmers or fucking "social media representatives" and squeezes people who produce food! Moreover the corporate pressure on land ownership is totally unfair and unreasonable. My one point is that unfortunately a lot of the people opposing these irresponsible corporations, are hippies who are out of touch with economic reality. That's why I like the line in this song "I can't blame the riggers, or the guys driving truck / they're feeding their family, making a buck." Obviously, it's only fair to expect working people to do the work that the economy supports. I don't blame them either, but I worry about the long-term consequences of industrial technology. Us humans might just be too stupid to plan our own future properly.
