Thank you Frederic for your film. I had just emailed CBC to look into this subject of hydraulic fracking after I saw "Gasland" doc. I have emailed EnCana and they just called and left a message to day for me to call them back about all the good things they do. I want them to do "Good" things by stop using chemicals that are dangerous to the people of this country, and if they think that those chemicals don't hurt us, then I am going to suggest that they live on that farm for a few months, drink the water and bath in it and then let us know that nothing happens to them. Thanks again.
