After being violently dispersed on Thursday followed by dozens of solidarity actions on Friday, the non-violent anti-fracking protesters returned to the site of the blockade in Rexton, New Brunswick where they are preventing Houston-based SWN Resources from drilling and fracking the land without consent.
Susan Blight reports: Community & supporters gathered at former site of anti-fracking blockade.
Daryl LeRoux reports: “Protest taking on new energy. Over 100 people singing and drumming Mi’kmaq honour song.”
