Local Activists Backing Rexton Protests

Protestors in Saint John are standing behind the anti-shale gas movement on the Elsipogtog First Nation.

Joel Butler was in attendance at a demonstration in uptown Saint John this afternoon.
Butler tells Tide News the pipeline could provide cheaper crude oil for the refinery, but that wouldn't help consumer prices in gas--nor are there are any details on how it would benefit our local economy.


Further talks between native leaders and Premier David Alward have been discussed for later this week.
