More protests in New Brunswick

SWN has started seismic testing again in NB, and the protesters are back on the roads. Here’s a note from Brad Walters, Professor & Coordinator of Environmental Studies at Mount Allison University:

Things have heated-up very quickly in Kent County over the weekend. I spent the afternoon up at the site today and intend to return during the week. The protest is peaceful and attended by all ages (including lots of local high-school kids!). But it is also clear that protesters have now seriously drawn a line in the sand, so-to-speak, so I encourage folks to make time for a visit and show support. Police are permitting people to park outside the blockade (on either side) and walk in-and-out of the site unimpeded. See attached map of the location. Brad
