Earl's Canadian Electoral Reform Proposal Thread

[DC Al Fine]

I take it from your first couple entries you are eliminating the intra-regional variations in riding population? E.g. Miramichi-Grand Lake has roughly 2/3 of the population of Monton-Riverview-Dieppe, but you seem to have eliminated disparity with the exception of the North.

I approve of this map and any map that gets rid of the stupid Central Nova and West Nova names.

Earl, what are you using to draw your maps? It looks like you are using county lines and major streets in parts of Halifax but the map doesn't have streets or county lines.

Yes, I loathe those kinds of provincial directional names, so you won't be seeing me use them. I hope the names I used meet your approval.

For the most part yeah. One minor quibble is that Pictou isn't part of Cape Breton-Highland-Eastern Shore despite being roughly half of the riding. No worries though, it's still miles ahead of the most recent redistribution

Glad to start seeing the Tories and NDP start winning FPTP seats. The Atlantic regions were depressing Looks good so far Earl.

[DC Al Fine]

A couple of questions for Hatman

1) If you are doing regions in advance are you finding many where the winning party wins more FPTP seats than their entitlement like the Liberals did in Atlantic Canada?

2) What is your cap for seats in a region? This doesn't really matter with the one's you've done thus far, but it will once you start looking at Toronto or Montreal.
