Gerrymandering Canada

[Krago]

Here is the draft report of the Krago Commission to draw 124 ridings in Ontario, based on the proposed changes to the seat formula.

Here is a slight revision to my original map:

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.

I've created an alternative map for the 12 ridings from Waterloo through to Halton, based on adding the Paris/St George area of Brant to 'Hamilton', rather than to Waterloo Region.

Here's another alternative map, based on adding Muskoka to north Simcoe, and then rippling the boundary changes all the way down to Toronto.

The plan creates five seats in Muskoka/Simcoe, ten in York Region, six in Durham, and 25 in the City of Toronto. Some of the ridings are a bit odd (what's not to like about a riding that stretches from Leaside to Wexford?), but on the whole it didn't turn out too badly. Enjoy.
