“Hey Russ, what were you thinking when you wrote this song?”
Well, it’s a collection of seemingly unconnected snapshots of divine intervention in Canada’s story. Here goes... Mohawk Indian Steeplejacks, who built the bridge over the east end of Lake St. Louis (which is the name of the ship of Jews seeking
safety in Canada during the war... which caused a huge kerfuffle in parliament so for the sake of Canadian unity we sent the Jews back to Europe and Hitler said, “See? No one wants them”, and he instituted the final solution)... those indians
had become Christians, suffered persecution and had taken refuge in the convent in Châteauguay, Québec... which is where a few of us went on a secret mission to pray for Canada... and nine months later there was a reconciliation meeting between French and English Christians... which is kind of like the situation we found in North Battleford, Saskatchewan where the First Peoples were more than persecuted: they were murdered there. ...fifty years later there was a massive returning to God that started there and spread around the globe... Upon our arrival, fifty years later, we saw, basically red and white sidewalks... We knew something was afoot when we did another secret prayer mission and a week later heard stories of another mass turning to God... this made me think of the verse that says the earth will be filled with the knowledge of God as the waters cover the sea... ...Makes sense to me...??...

lyrics
there’s a bridge to Châteauguay/built by the muscle of many a brave/to span the shamed St. Louis’ grave/lift the curse and see us saved/in Châteauguay there is a key/
as holy healing is released/the maple leaf and fleur de lys/embrace and share the kiss of peace/who would think this lake shore town/would be the source of such renown/ not much hope on the surface is found/but God is pouring his glory down/holy, holy, holy is the God of history/holy, holy, holy is the God of destiny/the Battleford sky displays a sign repeating rainbows mark the time/fifty years of innocent blood open the gates to revival’s flood/ now fifty years of latter rain/the doors of heaven swing wide again/the treaty made with God and man will prove true and heal our land/and I can almost taste what I’m longing for/filling more and more and more/I can see from shore to shore/filling more and more and more/with watchmen on the walls in strength/the nation’s one in breadth and length/faces like flint and hearts afire/the glory of God our one desire

Roots rock with percussive guitars and fierce drums anchoring the energetic folk songs. Their current release “Oil” ... more (Produced by Alan Shacklock - Roger Daltrey, The Alarm, Meatloaf, Jeff Beck, Mike Oldfield) and the French version “Huile de paix” have received high praise from listeners and critics who say it sounds like a crazy blend of The Chieftans, Dave Mathews Band and The Who. less
