Canada’s Indian Resource Council Supports Quebec Utica Drilling

This is getting interesting. Last week MDN told you that Canadian driller Questerre Energy has found a way to fight back against Quebec, Canada's insane, irrational plan to outlaw all oil and gas drilling--including drilling in the province's Utica Shale layer--by forming an alliance with a local Indian tribe to drill on Indian land (see Questerre Finds Way to Circumvent Quebec’s Utica Drilling Ban). Less than a week later, the Indian Resource Council of Canada (IRC), an organization representing more than 130 First Nations (Indian tribes) across the country that produce energy or have direct interests in the energy industry, has joined the fight in support of Questerre. It has set up a battle between Quebec and the country's First Nations.
