The headcount today put the tally at around 40 for the number of anti-shale gas protesters on hand for the weekly Thursday protest at the Centennial Building on King Street. That's down about 10 from the steady number of 50 that were attending the protest in the past several weeks. The lower numbers are likely due to today's cold weather; a harbinger of what's to come. However, the core of diehards in the group vow to continue on throughout the winter, as evidenced by the video below.
