The Cracks Are Showing

Elsipogtog seeks shale injunction, warns of 'radical elements

"The Elsipogtog First Nation is seeking a court injunction to suspend all exploration by SWN Resources, and warns “outside radical elements” are converging on the area where the latest work is being done.

The band says in a court application filed Thursday afternoon there’s a real risk of a repeat to clashes between police and protesters near Rexton last month."

"The notice by the band was filed in the Court of Queen's Bench in Fredericton. It names the Attorney General of New Brunswick, the Minister of Energy and Mines, SWN Resources Canada Inc, and the Assembly of First Nations' Chiefs in New Brunswick as respondents.(Emphasis Added) The application is asking — on what it calls "an extremely urgent basis" — to have an order suspending all SWN operations under oil and gas licences."

Poor fools. They don't seem to realized how transparent the hypocrisy is.
