@@joshuatowell9793 it’s hard to do when we have a government that either forgot that we exist or don’t care that we exist. They don’t give a shit about those of us in the west.
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.
Great song writting Corb; As you always do hit the mark! This one.... the big picture and what you have now spoken up against in Alberta. Thank you for having a voice. Yes --the foothills and rookies are magical! And then there is your dog....I too have been a grave digger. More than once into frozen prarie ground. Thank you for everything you write and present. Even your album covers are home runs....
Corb. i ve fallowed you since the Smalls man. your an amazing song writer, talent, and punk rocker. but coming from Saskatchewan. this song hits home. brings a tear to this prairie boys eye. beautiful song man. please please please keep making music
one of my favorites! I have the same feelings about my land, it's my land, I do what i want when i want and you will have to wait till I am dead to change that. Can't wait for the new album in August!

@@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.

Soon, this will be enough to be caged for extremism, eh? God bless you and your hurtin' albertans, Corb Lund. "I don't got the money that lawyers can buy I don't got my own government's laws on my side But I got this old rifle that my grand daddy owned And this is my prairie, this is my home."

Hey Corb, I have to give a shout out to your editor. IS that Fish too? Because this is shot brilliantly and cut the same. The way that no humans appear directly is brilliant. Just a foot or a shovel, or a face reflected in water, that's genius.
I started listening to you in 2002-------MORE POWER TO YOU!!!!! I Believe that You Are Absolutely Beautiful. You are a Very Intelligent Man-----who comes from a Good Family.

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.
excuse me for being a pedantic character but there seems to be a lot of trees on that prairie, not Coyote Flats or anywhere else near the South Saskatchewan, North Saskatchewan maybe, or North of that? Grand Prairie?
I love Corb's music. And I know he's the real deal. But video people? At least take the sticker off the spade you just bought and for filming give it to someone who knows how to use it? I'm 58 and everything hurts but at the end of the longest day I'd be using it with more "vigour" than that!
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 UA-cams.
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.
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.
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.

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.
The real issue is as to whether there are any sensible people in Central Canada and the East.

Thanx Corb !!! What a wonderful video, ♥ it !!! :)

You could do a good cover for BC re pipelines and LNG.
