"A public survey that is part of the New Brunswick government’s review of the fracking moratorium is biased and won’t give an accurate picture of public sentiment, critics of fracking say.
The survey, which closed on Oct. 23, included 16 questions asking respondents for demographic information, about their awareness of the moratorium and their opinion on "natural gas development" in the province.
That was an immediate red flag for Bev Gingras, director of the Conservation Council of New Brunswick. "

The difficulty facing environmentalists in New Brunswick is the loss of control of the narrative at this point. More and more people are choosing to do their own research on the value of fossil fuels rather than be repeaters of the mantra "fossil fuels have got to go".. we can only hope that common sense will prevail.
Affluent local protestors with lots of time on their hands such as these three shown above are financially comfortable, retired people in our town that are not representative of all seniors or anyone else.. they are using the weapon of collectivism against the individuals who are not virulent anti-resource [responsible] development. The person who is armed with information and does not join collectives protesting against fossil fuels is a big problem for the "Seniors for Climate" mob around here. Education and information is important.. where do you get your information from?
Educate yourself. Educate others.
