The southern New Brunswick community of Penobsquis, gets vocal about Industry on their land. Lend an ear to these homeowner outcrys against what the province of New Brunswick has and continues to do the people of New Brunswick. Say no to Fracking!!

Canada: Dozens Arrested as Police Descend on Anti-Fracking Blockade in New Brunswick
In New Brunswick, Canada, dozens of people were arrested and several police cars were set ablaze as protesters resisted efforts by police to clear an anti-fracking blockade. For more than two weeks, members of the Mi’kmaq First Nation and other area residents have blocked a road near the village of Rexton, cutting off access to an equipment compound used by the Texas-based firm Southwestern Energy. The company is seeking to explore the area for natural gas. Residents say they don’t want their water supplies poisoned by gas fracking, which involves blasting a chemical cocktail deep into shale rock. Scores of Royal Canadian Mounted Police descended on the encampment early Thursday morning to enforce an injunction won by the company.
