Neil Young responds to PMO's defence of oilsands

In response to a CBC News query about Young's tour, PMO spokesman Jason MacDonald defended Canada's natural resource sector, saying it is a fundamental part of the country's economy, and then made sly reference to Young's "rock star" lifestyle.

"Our issue is not whether the natural resource sector is a fundamental part of the country, our issue is with the government breaking treaties with the First Nation and plundering the natural resources the First Nation has rights to under the treaties," the statement said.

The rant that comes right after Old Man blames Monsanto, the banks, DC, and more.
