Gerrymandering Canada

[lilTommy]

OK, here's 13 NDP seats in Toronto



Comments?

This is why i am so glad we do not let politicians gerrymander like in the US! TO looks ugly, Dufferin makes my eyes bleed... but it does remind me of the old city of Toronto ridings from the 30's, all long and stretched out along arteries:

What if we try and gerrymander SW Ontario to get more NDP seats?

Here is a slight revision to my original map:

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=https:%2F%2Fsites.google.com%2Fsite%2Fkmzoverlays%2Foverlays%2FProposed124_v2.kmz&hl=en&sll=49.267993,-84.738191&sspn=21.511785,56.90918&vpsrc=0&t=m&z=5

I've changed the boundary around Peterborough and added Rural % to the populations.

I've also created an alternative map for Northern Ontario that reduces the number of seats north of the 47th parallel from five to four, and keeps all of them within 25% of the provincial average.

Great stuff! Ontario will no doubt adopt them for the next election as well EXCEPT the north wont budge, they will keep the same seats they have now to as to not lose influcene.. unless the liberals do as bad as we suspect, if so they just might give them a big f-u.

I hate the name Toronto-Harbour... Something for like Toronto-Old York or Toronto-Fort York would have a nicer ring to it

Also, Conestoga-Brant... thats rediculous looking, i just don't see that one being a realistic (i know this is not the right thread for realistic anyway) riding.
