THATs Because a vote in the West is worth 50% as much as a vote in the East. Why bother? Fuck em..
Ontario, Quebec, BC and Alberta have almost the same average population per electoral district. A vote in Alberta is as much worth as in Ontario.
Alberta has about the same amount of federal seats as Atlantic Canada with about double the population.
And Saskatchewan has 25% of the population of Alberta but 40% of the voting power of Alberta. Saskatchewan is as powerful as the Atlantics when it comes to voting power.
But elections aren't decided in the Atlantics or the Prairies. They are decided in the GTA and Greater Montreal. These two areas account for 12 million people and for over 100 seats in the parliament.
I highly doubt our elections are legitimate in current year.
