New Brunswick town plagued for weeks by ‘earthquake swarm’ — and no one knows why

Springtime in McAdam, a tiny village in southwestern New Brunswick not far from the Maine border, is like springtime in most other parts of Canada. Locals chatter about the NHL playoffs, the garden they are planting, the grass that needs to be cut, the fish they can’t wait to catch and the cottage they can’t wait to get to, once the warm weather really settles in.

The World will be blaming Zero for much more than what Conservatives have uncovered in the last 3.5 years, and he will be lucky if he isn’t tarred and feathered in the Hereafter.

The more Red Lobsters are opened up around the country, the more the weight of those lobsters have been removed from the vicinity of the swarming quakes.

In the comments below the article, one person lists two companies by name that are fracking within about 5 or 10 miles from the town.
