Redistribution of Federal Electoral Districts 2012

[ottermax]

So wrong thread probably... but same tangent. NS just re-submitted its Provincial redistribution map

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/story/2012/07/20/ns-electoral-boundaries-report.html

the gov't didn't accept the first one since it kept the special ridings intacts (acadian and african nova scotian ridings, 4 in total i think were allowed in that 25% variation)

thought i'd share too... some of the maps looks odd here too (esp Dartmouth East...)

Which ridings are currently protected special ridings? I didn't realize that there were enough African Nova Scotians to qualify for any (although I'm aware of their long history).
