Kemptville's art, culture and heritage festival is facing a boycott from local
artists less than a month before the May three-day event after accepting a
$5,000 donation from TransCanada, the energy company planning to build a
controversial oil pipeline through the community. The proposed Energy East
pipeline would see crude oil pass through Kemptville on its way from Alberta to
refineries in Saint John, New Brunswick. (TransCanada Corp.) Â via
