The Pines presented by Winnipeg Folk Festival
A truly unique sound that captures ears and stimulates the mind. The Pines is a band that has taken on this feat, honing their musical craft to near perfection with a sound that wavers on the edge of traditional acoustic/roots music, but embraces the nuances of today's indie-rock and blues music.
Fellow Iowans David Huckfelt and Benson Ramsey began playing music together, forming The Pines. They returned to their Midwestern roots and settled in Minneapolis, a music haven that has launched the career of folk and rock legend Bob Dylan.

I support Shoal Lake 40 and the construction of "Freedom Road", which would give them year-round access to the Transcanada Hwy, and therefore access to services and contact with the rest of Canada. They have lived in isolation ever since a decision was made about 100 years ago to build an aqueduct that would supply clean drinking water to Winnipeg. Now they themselves cannot access clean drinking water, and have been under a boil water advisory for nearly two decades. A road would allow a proper water treatment plant to be built.
As my friend Steve Bell put it to me one day, any time something is "taken" from someone else, there is usually some kind of 'exchange'. Much was taken from the people of Shoal Lake 40, and what has been the fair exchange? Winnipeg is the clear winner, and we profit every time we turn on our tap. Tragically, nine lives have been lost while crossing the water, trying to connect to services or to "get home". We must not close our eyes.
My plea to you today is to sign this petition. The City has said they will pay for a third of the cost of the road (with the province and the federal gov't to make up the rest). This will not happen unless it is officially penned into a budget line.
Canadian communities should not be living with years of boil water advisories, and we all agree that clean water is a basic human right.
Can we support our own citizens here?
I'm humbly asking: Please sign. Thank you! ~ Jaylene Johnson
