No, no one here wants electronic fags. Fuck off and die in a fire, evil spammer.
Uh? Was that directed at Max? Did I miss something? ...where's the blinking smiley?
So, bump.
Charest finally gave up and the three rural ridings will finally be abolished and the elections office finally deposed his report (dated from September 10th, 2010!)
So, according to the resume, here are the main changes.
More exceptions ridings. Before there was only Ungava and Îles-de-la-Madeleine, now they will be Gaspé, René-Lévesque, Abitibi-Est and Abitibi-Ouest. (For the two Abitibi ridings the problem is than they have population for 2.5 MNA and there is nobody to provide them the 0.5 around, since it is surrounded by North, Ontario and a 3 hour long to cross national park.)
So, regions affected by the new report.
Abitibi: Returns to previous situation, doesn't strecht north.
Chaudière-Appalaches: Beauce-Nord (ADQ) isn't abolished but Lotbinière (ADQ) and Frontenac (LIB) are merged.
Eastern Townships/Central Quebec: Redrawing about demands in audiences.
Laurentides-Lanaudière: Map was very bad there. It was redraw. Finally, the new riding is based on the city of Repentigny.
Laval: The proposed riding of Marc-Aurèle-Fortin will be named Sainte-Rose.
Montérégie: The proposed new riding, which was to be called Roussillon, then Lignery will be called Sanguinet, finally.
I was just on the Elections Quebec website yesterday looking for the updated map and they said that the process had been halted for some reason? Has something changed?
