Saboteurs

Discover the riveting narrative of "Saboteurs" by Andrew Nikiforuk, a compelling exploration of conflict between community and industry. Published by Greystone Books in 2014, this revised edition spans 310 pages and delves into the struggles faced by Wiebo Ludwig and his religious community at Trickle Creek, Alberta. When a Calgary oil company proposed drilling just within sight of their communal dining room, Ludwig took a stand. His journey through letters, petitions, and public hearings reveals the complexities surrounding the petroleum industry and the fight for property rights against corporate encroachment. With themes of vandalism and the impact of industrialization, "Saboteurs" offers a thought-provoking investigation into the intersection of faith, community, and the relentless pursuit of profit. Join Nikiforuk as he unveils the stories behind these bold acts of resistance and the profound consequences of standing up against powerful interests.
