“Yes, I knew about it,” Ernst said. “What happens – and this is one of the parts about being fracked that is so upsetting – all day long my phone is ringing.” …  “And it wasn’t just at Eagle Hill that I raised the issue of violence.” Ernst, 55, said she had spoken out against violence while addressing students in New Brunswick and on a recent tour of Ireland, where she warned the audience not to “let fracking put you right back to where your governments want you.” With violence, she said, “we lose our power,” … “People are really afraid for their children because they don’t know what the risks are,” she said. “The ERCB is only out there for profit.
