Wiebo Ludwig

Who was Wiebo Ludwig?

Wiebo Ludwig was the leader of a Christian community named Trickle Creek, just outside Hythe, Alberta, Canada. He was best known for his legal problems arising from his conflict with the oil and gas industry. He was convicted in R v Ludwig [2000] AJ v509 at 293 on several counts for sabotaging oil and gas wells. From the early 1990s until the time that he died Ludwig consistently accused the industry of poisoning his family and farm through their attempts to extract toxic sour gas from the Peace River region of Alberta.
