How New Brunswick can elbow in on the wealth from oil and natural gas has been a major topic of conversation n the province of late.
Mayor Mel Norton is maintaining his usual spirit of optimism about Saint John’s economic prospects in that arena.
The Mayor tells CHSJ News he’s excited about a future where the Saint Johners who have left for out West can return to work at home. Norton says exploring the options with shale gas and a West-East oil pipeline would create well-paying, long term jobs and that’s what this place desperately needs.
