Frac Talk: What will it take to brainwash eastern Canadians to accept fracing when even Albertans are saying NO?

NL at Risk of Lawsuits Should Province Proceed with Fracking by VOCM, May 26 2015

Newfoundland and Labrador is at risk of lawsuits under NAFTA, and the looming trade agreement with CETA, should the province proceed with fracking, according to Marilyn Reid with Citizens Against CETA.

She spoke at a coalition meeting yesterday involving 14 groups fighting for balanced, democratic fracking consultations throughout the province.

Reid says noted the $250-million NAFTA damage suit being pursued as a result of Quebec’s moratorium on fracking. She says the same thing could easily happen to Newfoundland and Labrador. Though the federal government has paid for such suits in the past, she says that may not be the case in the future.

She says there are other financial considerations, including the early and high failure rate of wells. She says fracking companies constantly have to drill new wells, and take on debt loads to do so. She says the risk of bankruptcy is very high. [Emphasis added]

SMART NEWFOUNDLANDERS! Groups jointly oppose review panel and approach: Too little, not too late, say N.L. concerned citizens by Ashley Fitzpatrick, May 25, 2015, The Telegram

Disband the Newfoundland and Labrador fracking review panel and reject the idea of hydraulic fracturing, representatives of 12 environmental and social justice groups said Monday at a joint news conference in St. John’s.

Barring that end, they said, the panel’s work needs to be expanded to include public consultation sessions throughout the province.

“Just one stop would look rather silly, so they made it two stops,” said Greg Malone, who pulled no punches at the gathering in laying out his personal objections to fracking, adding he believes the appointed panel members have already made up their minds on next steps.

The five-man panel has planned for one public meeting in Corner Brook and one in Stephenville, with the option for additional teleconferencing if required.

Presentations at the meetings are being scheduled, with the panel having noted its work — as per the government-issued terms of reference — is focused on whether or not hydraulic fracturing should be permitted in western Newfoundland, as opposed to the province as a whole.

That’s not good enough, said the representatives who gathered at Memorial University of Newfoundland’s St. John’s campus to state their disapproval.

“The actions of the people of the west coast of the island are the reason we’re here today,” said Paula Graham, with Social Justice Co-op N.L., explaining the panel exists as a result of vocal opponents and public rallies on the west coast, tied to specific project proposals.

The province now has a ban on fracking onshore and near shore, while the review is ongoing.

But regardless of where work is proposed, the panel’s work will be relevant to the province as a whole, Graham said.

As one example, she suggested the topic be looked at in terms of climate change, calling approval for fracking in that sense “a slap in the face to humanity.”

The Council of Canadians’ Ken Kavanagh, meanwhile, said the province’s review pales in comparison to reviews in other jurisdictions.

“If you just look to the Wheeler Report and that process in Nova Scotia, not that it was perfect, but it was a damn lot better than this process here,” Kavanagh said. “They had a comprehensive set of terms of reference … they had an 11-member panel that had a fairly broad set of expertise and experience across the panel, they made sure that there was aboriginal representation for instance, they had provincewide consultations — I think they had 11 across the entire province. We want a process something like that and this is far from that.”

Yet fear of long-lasting environmental considerations in areas where fracking has been used was the touchstone for many of the speakers.

Penny Allderdice, with the Research Exchange Group at MUN, said more baseline environmental and health information is needed before fracking should be considered.

“There’s no data available that tells you how many people have headaches, how many people have asthma, how many people have this. And this is to the advantage of the industry because they can say, ‘Well, we had nothing to do with that. That’s just normal. That’s just natural,’” she said, calling for baseline studies.

Objections or no, the panel has until Oct. 10 to file a final report.

There is a website (http://nlhfrp.ca/) where written submissions to the review are being posted. The deadline for making a submission is June 1.

Review panel stacked with pro-frackers, says Greg Malone by CBC News, May 26, 2015 COMMENTS WORTH A LOOK

Some environmental and citizen groups are now voicing concerns that none of the five panelists selected by government are women, or represent First Nations or people from the west coast of the province.

Calls for more female representation

Paula Graham, with the social action group Council of Canadians, is worried the panelists won’t look at the long-term health consequences or the ethics of fracking. She refers to such panels as “manels,” because the group is entirely comprised of men. “White, male, university educated, land-owning — that’s more or less who makes all of our public decisions and that’s just weird. Why are we only drawing from such a small percentage of our population?” she asked. [Because that small percentage can be counted on to recommend the same thing, over and over, frac panel after panel:  secretly deregulate to enable a frac frenzy; publicly claim fracing can be made safe with “go slow” guinea pig approach and “regulations” or better yet with UNENFORCEABLE, VOLUNTARY, INDUSTRY-CREATED AND CONTROLLED, DUST COLLECTING (IGNORED IN THE FIELD) “Best Practices”]

Actor Greg Malone is with a coalition of environmental groups calling for the review to be scrapped unless it examines the broader implications of fracking.

“[The panel is] composed of industry people who’ve already said they support fracking, there’s no medical people on the panel, and yet the whole thing is about the health effects of fracking. There’s no medical science in here — it’s a farce,” Malone said.

The panelists have backgrounds in bio-chemistry, economics and engineering — and one holds several fracking patents. [More frac patent details below]

“We are now going to send out a pretend panel with its mind already made up to pretend to examine the very real dangers involved in hydraulic fracturing,” said Malone.

Comparisons with Nova Scotia

Maurice Dusseault, a professor at the University of Waterloo, insists the fracking review will be objective. [If the panel were objective, would Dussault need to shout it so?]

Still, compared to the panel he sat on in Nova Scotia, he concedes the review in Newfoundland is “narrower in focus.”

[Reality check:

Nova Scotia still creating frac rules (to regulate with “No Duty of Care?”) and recreating frac definition (to allow “blanket approval” like in Alberta’s Fox Creek World Record Frac Quake Pilot Project?)

Did the people of Newfoundland and Labrador set themselves up to be frac’d by asking for an “independent” review of fracing? Will they get what citizens of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Canada got: recommendations to be used as lab rats?

A similar fracking review in Nova Scotia was chaired by panelists who were nominated by a variety of groups with a stake — from industry to First Nations.

However, in the Newfoundland and Labrador legislature on Monday, Natural Resources Minister Derrick Dalley defended his government’s approach. “As minister, I’m not going to intervene with the work of the panel, and the decision on fracking has not been made.” he said. “This government hasn’t decided we’re going to frack or not frack.” [Emphasis added]
