AllNB says there's plans to merge the Town and County Municipality of Antigonish. The combined entity would have a population of 24,000 almost exactly, and unite all non-reserve parts of the county in one municipality. Questions, comments, thoughts, concerns?

I'm not deeply familiar with the area, but merging Mulgrave, St Mary's and Guysborough into a unified Guysborough County would seem like an easier lift. All three combined barely break 7,500 and unlike Antigonish they're shrinking. Maybe Mulgrave would stay independent, like Port Hawkesbury across the strait, which has managed to avoid annexation by Inverness County, remaining the last town on the island.
