boundary redrawing: The boundary changes eliminated the protected Acadian ridings of Clare, Argyle and Richmond, according to Brandon Sun. I don't think it is in the government's best interest to call an election before this issue is resolved, said executive director Marie-Claude Rioux. The federation said Monday it will seek a court order if the government fails to act.A Nova Scotia Court of Appeal ruling released in January found a 2012 boundary redrawing violated the voter rights section of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. It opens a whole Pandora's box, and I don't think the government wants to go there. Rioux said her organization believes an interim solution can be found relatively quickly. The government has been widely expected to call an election this year, perhaps as early as this spring.
