Thanks Charles!
ReplyDeletewhy there is nothing about this on cbc? Cant you pass this on to them. As for NB (where little happens) this will be equivalent of Etna erruption.
ReplyDeletethe news only reports on what they feel they want to... we need a tv station not owned by Irving or the goverment, then we will see what accually is going on...
ReplyDeleteMake no mistake, there is a war being waged in NB. It's not just the Shale gas issue either. I love this page. I love the visual of Fatigue dressed militants forcing these corporate welfare whores out on their asses. These company's in bed with the government are poisoning peoples water and air, they are destroying peoples property and homes. There is no other way to look at what is going on than to view it from the angle that we are fighting a war. God speed to those who resist!
ReplyDeleteWhy did they try to stop the presentation? Was it on a First Nation? If not, what business did the "security" have asking them to leave the premises? The cops should have showed up in force and chased away those disrupting the proceedings,if you ask me.
ReplyDeleteSo you want "fatigue dressed militants" allowed to disrupt and put an end to any public meeting that you don't agree with? An Information session? That'll sure put a crimp on political rallies and campaigning!
ReplyDeleteIn this land, people can lawfully put on these info sessions; the lawbreakers are the "bullying" native community, who "one on one" are as gutless as can be and simply seized an opportunity for some press... and now you people are all pissy because it wasn't reported mainstream. In the real world, these a-holes that disrupted a harmless information session should have been arrested. Seems like you people are in favour of silencing dissenting voices. I'd want to know what the people had to say.
You want a war? Bring it!!
Oh Craig ODonnell you have no idea what you are talking about, is this the first you've heard of FRACKING?
ReplyDeleteWow the insanity grows. So no intelligent discourse, no exchange of information, just screaming fatigue dressed militants disrupting industrial activity. Is that how our civilization runs?
ReplyDeleteThis is just another example of how the Conservation Council and other anti progress zealots are waging this war against knowledge and true information. By keeping New Brunswickers ignorant of the facts and benefits of an oil and gas industry, the Conservation Council and these first nation representatives are on the same level as the Taliban who refuse to allow women to be educated. Information leads to knowledge and knowledge leads to freedom and prosperity. I am tired of living in a have not province and accepting crumbs from the other provinces. This is our chance to prosper and become a have province. Lets not blow it!!
ReplyDeletehey buddy...who ever you are, saying we dont know what were talking about....I do and have worked enough in the industry drilling through different rock formations ranging from 0M to 7000M....know, reading an article and informing with your comments, thats not science....living and seeing with both eyes, how its done, thats science. sorry bud, you'll have to live with crumbs as that is true richness.
ReplyDeletefirst time i have read anything like this.if the first nations want to use force,then let us answer with force.dont depend on the police. my name is peter stewart.
