OTTAWA, Canada — Anti-fracking demonstrators set tires ablaze to block a New Brunswick highway Monday in a fiery response to a judge’s decision to extend an injunction limiting their protests against a Texas-based shale gas exploration company.
In a courtroom in Fredericton, the capital of New Brunswick, Judge Paulette Garnett ruled to continue through Dec. 17 the injunction obtained by SWN Resources Canada against a coalition of protesters led by Mi’kmaq indigenous people from the Elsipogtog First Nation.

Thank you for posting this. Canada’s courts have no jurisdiction to rule on a sovereign nation attempting to enforce a treaty Canada signed but refuses to honor. Please keep praying for the people standing up to the full fascist might of corporate owned colonial government.
