Provincial Energy Minister Craig Leonard calling shale gas opponents "bananas", which he says stands for "build absolutely nothing anywhere near anything", will just create more division.
So claims Provincial NDP leader Dominic Cardy who tells CHSJ News it's not likely to get them over to your side and will only make the debate more divisive.
Cardy says Premier David Alward should visit the First Nations Longhouse across the street from the Legislature even though Chief Candace Paul opposes shale gas exploration. He argues not to do so is not demonstrating leadership.
