Tar Sands Blockade !!! Mi’kmaq demonstrators declared a “victory” today after stopping thumper trucks belonging to the Houston-based energy company SWN from conducting shale gas exploration north of Elsipogtog First Nation. While about 100 Mi’kmaq and supporters faced a line of RCMP officers as thumper trucks idled in the background, the Elsipogtog band council was 200 kilometres away in a Fredericton courtroom seeking an ex parte injunction to stop SWN from continuing the exploration work. A hearing on the injunction is set for Friday. “It is a small victory, but a victory nonetheless,” said Brennan Sock, from Elsipogtog. “We will take anything right now. We got the trucks to leave, we managed to slow them down as much as we can.” Read more: aptn.ca/pages/news/2013/11/15/elsipogtog-grassroots-declares-victory-highway-leadership-aims-stop-swn-courtroom/
