‘Procedural cat-fishing’: final proposal for Nova Scotia riding redraw raises ireThe final proposed new federal riding boundaries for Nova Scotia have caught at least one MP by surprise, with Sydney–Victoria Liberal MP Jaime Battiste saying the late-stage decision to significantly shrink and redraw his riding—removing Mi’kmaw communities in the process—without proper consultation is “deeply concerning” and goes against the principals of reconciliation. “I was absolutely shocked, actually, and deeply concerned,” Battiste told The Hill Times about seeing the federal riding boundaries put forward in the Nova Scotia redistribution commission’s final proposal, which was tabled in the House of Commons on Nov. 17. “The most recent map is a total deviation from what they originally proposed.
