On today’s show, we talk with political leaders who met in Amherst Tuesday, where they discussed the future of the Chignecto Isthmus. Senator Jim Quinn called the meeting with Mayors Andrew Black and David Kogon, MLAs Megan Mitton and Elizabeth Smith-McCrossin, as well Acadian and Mi’kmaq representatives. Quinn asked leaders to help raise support for his bill S-273, which would see the federal government take jurisdiction over the Isthmus dyke system, which is under threat due to sea level rise and extreme weather.
