Nova Scotia’s highest court says it will not weigh in on who has legislative authority over the Chignecto Isthmus.
The Nova Scotia government asked the provincial Court of Appeal nearly two years ago whether the land bridge to New Brunswick was within Parliament’s exclusive legislative authority.
In a decision Friday, the court declined to answer, saying it was vague, imprecise and had political undertones.
The decision says the question seemed like an attempt to enlist the court in a political dispute about who is responsible to pay to remediate the Isthmus.

A member of P-E-I’s symphony orchestra has suffered a career setback after an accidental fire destroyed his home and an extensive collection of musical instruments.
Oboist Marc DesRoches said he was trying to dispose of some sensitive papers by burning them in a stainless steel sink outside the home he and his partner once occupied in New London.
DesRoches speculates a small leaflet may have blown free amid the windy conditions prevailing on June 2nd, as shortly after he returned inside to his piano, he realized his deck was on fire.
The blaze spread to the home and destroyed two oboes, an English horn that was still being paid off, three pianos and a large collection of other woodwind and brass instruments, including his grandfather’s tuba.
