This is tricky, the city has too much rural areas...

Those goddamn sh**tholes always need to fuck everything up, don't they.

For sure. I'm going to have to divide Ottawa-Orleans somehow I think.

In the mean time, here's a new riding, "Kanata-Carleton". It's really just a smaller version of Carleton-Mississippi Mills. I removed MM and the former Goulbourn Twp.

Ok, I kept going. I figured it out. The thing is, the rural/suburban ridings are underpopulated in this map, however, we all know by 2014 they will have filled in nicely.



So, really the new riding will be Rideau-Carleton. Coincidently the Rideau-Carleton raceway is in the heart of this new riding, so the name makes sense . Also, I added a bit of Nepean, so I thought Gloucester-Carleton would not be a good name (even though Nepean-Carleton currently includes part of Gloucester). I had to split Nepean South up in this, and its probably not the best split, but probably necessary.

As for political allegiances, this map produces 3 safe Tory ridings, 2 safe Liberal ridings, 2 bellwethers, and a safe NDP riding. So, the Tories gain a seat. However, Prescott-Russell will probably be more competitive now.

Great work earl.


While I'd like to finish Ontario before moving on, I have this:
Outside Ontario:
Calgary region = 10 ridings
Edmonton Capital region = 10 ridings
Rest of Alberta = 15 ridings

Winnipeg = 8 ridings
Rest of Manitoba = 6 ridings

Metro Vancouver - 21 ridings
Rest of BC - 22 ridings


Saskatchewan = 14 ridings
PEI = 4
NL = 7
NS = 11
NB = 10

Quebec = 75 (will be saved for later!!!! will the hardest province to do, lets NOT get caught up in that mess just yet)

Ok, I have names for the 7 Eastern Ontario ridings you haven't made yet. Borders will have to be figured out yet.

*Lanark-Frontenac (Lanark County plus Frontenac County and a bit of Kingston)
*Kingston and the Islands (slightly smaller than now)
*Prince Edward-Hastings-Lennox and Addington (those counties, minus southern Hastings)
*Quinte (southern Hastings)
*Northumberland-Peterborough (Northumberland County plus part of Peterborough County)
*Peterborough (some rejigging needed)
*Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes (self implied)

We need to move fast if we are going to get this done.

Note to anyone who wants to participate. You must add up the populations within the ridings you propose, we need to know down to the last person the exact population of each district and it needs to be within a very small variance.

Right now the big population growth in Toronto has been in the downtown core due to all the condo construction etc... If one or two new Toronto seats are created i wonder whether at least one new seat would essentially take all the lakefront condos from Trinity-Spadina and Toronto Centre and make one riding that is nothing but condos.

I'd like to revive this. Note that there should be 126 ridings in Ontario by last count, and, 116 in southern Ontario.

Also note, do not submit any data without knowing, exactly, how many people live in each and every one of your proposed ridings. No "guessing".

That rural riding in western Ottawa would have very few people... maybe 30,000? You have to include Kanata in it.
