Herring Protests get Physical in Souris

Protests heated up on the Souris wharf on Wednesday, with police having to physically move some protesters to let traffic through to the wharf. The protests were in response to New Brunswick Minister of Fisheries David Alward, who drove to Prince Edward Island on Wednesday to deliver supplies to the crew of the herring seiners in Souris after local businesses were refusing to sell supplies to the crew. Alward did not continue to Souris, after being convinced by police that it would likely spark a clash. It was an unusually tense momentat the wharf, where things have been relatively calm this fall in comparison to the clashes between fisherman and police last fall.
