New Brunswick Shale Gas Protests

[Lightguns]

The other funny thing about all this is the complete lack of interest the weapons has drawn from the gun control crowd.  Reading their web sites and forums, there is alot of talk about magazine capacity and arms treaties but no mention of natives protesting with guns.

Better yet if a have not province refuses to develop it's own resources, reduce it's transfer payments accordingly.  The whole "paid to sit around and complain" thing is getting old, regardless of race.  The fact is, and despite the weapons find, 44% of NB'ers think the natives are doing the right thing.  The whole moral compass is wacked down here.  Non-natives are running around saying the police should not have been armed and that clean water is justified in a few dead gas workers.  This place is becoming a real ____ hole.

The argument they use is that everyone needs clean water, so you are talking about a base existence need, something everyone with kids will take at a gut level. A very powerful argument when used correctly. Endbridge and CN (and the rail industry as a whole) have not exactly won themselves in glory lately. Most people can not make a connection to the gas/oil industry directly and have enjoyed the benefits without having it in their backyard till now, so they can't see why they need to accommodate the industry now.
