Atlantic has 32 seats with 2.4 million people, Alberta 34 seats with 4.5m, Sask 14 with 1.2m

Atlantic punches absurdly above its weight even more-so than Sask. But the biggest reason Atlantic and Prairies don’t Matter is because they reliably vote their respective way, cancelling each other out.

Of course Atlantic survives off backs of the rest of Canada with Alberta providing the most outsized contribution.
