In the month before police raided Wiebo Ludwig's farm, searching for links to attacks on natural gas facilities near the BC-Alberta border, his family was quietly fighting a plan to drill a new gas well nearby.
“Given the close proximity of the planned drilling, we also question why this development is already taking place without our knowledge and consultation, especially considering the publicly known tragedies and resulting conflict we have experienced with oil and gas developments around us,” the letter reads.
