After Fiona, Magdalen Islanders Say They're On 'Front Line' Of Climate Change [1]

"Isabelle Cormier spent the days after post-tropical storm Fiona picking through what could be salvaged of her family's 40-year-old cottage.

Among the soggy treasures strewn on the ground: a troll doll, so old its hair was gone, a large cooking pot, and a single oar — a fitting souvenir for a family that loves boating.

The cottage, hand-built by the family using driftwood, collapsed like a house of cards during the storm.

All that remains is the roof, a window covered in children's stickers and a limp electric wire, waving in the wind"
