Protestors albeit quiet ones on hand outside th site of McKenna’s speech handing out flyers with scary stats on the ills of shale gas exploration.
Chris Rendell tells CHSJ News the former premier is asking the business people to accept the crumbs that fall off the plate as the government rushes to export the energy and profits of shale gas.
He says the majority of the energy leaves the province adding the best idea our leaders can come up with for shale gas is to put it in a pipeline and sell it to Boston.
He says Boston and the U.S. to benefit from our resources and the people of New Brunswick bears the cost which Rendell claims are things like higher cancer rates and a loss of property value because of fracking.
