Canada Federal Representation 2024

If Quebec had it's 78th seat granted back, would there be increases in Ontario, Alberta or British Columbia to further even it out?

Census population results were released this morning, so now we can start guessing about riding changes.

And with that comes fun!

Here is my new map so far.  Please look it over and let me know if I've made any obvious errors, especially with names.  Any suggestions for improvement are always welcome.

Enjoy.  The Fish-and-Chips riding (Carleton-Charlotte) is back!

Just to be clear, in Quebec the only dramatic changes are in Eastern Quebec, but beyond that all ridings have a pretty clear predecessor with minimal chages (and it looks as if half are completely unchanged)?

I presume some of the changes you made in Ontario are unlikely to happen - I'm under the impression it's very unlikely the commission would cut ridings from Northern Ontario (though I would personally prefer your configuration).

I don't necessarily mind them myself (at least I would choose them over alternatives), but there's prime pitchfork bait in London, Burlington and Eastern Ontario.

I love the senatorial clause.

Do you have any personal connection to PEI, out of interest?

[beesley]

Please send me any errors, improvements or complaints.  Or even the occasional compliment.

I think Saskatchewan and Alberta are on point, from my knowledge. And you've made the best of a bad situation in BC, even if the Burnaby-North Vancouver riding is prime pitchfork bait.

Any sign of Riding  Builder being available for public use anytime soon?

It's in the pipeline and should be available within the next month, from what I know.

Here it is! A big hand to our colleague the506 on here.

Question, who would win a dedicated Thunder Bay riding?

Quoting you to notify you as promised - excuse the non sequitur.

I learned how to take screenshots of my computer! I can finally present my map of Quebec! (Once I find out how to upload images... watch this space!)

You see at the top of the forum page there is a menu going across from one side to the other? Well the second option from the right is called Gallery. If you go there and upload your images like you would on any other site, then once you have upload them you can get a link which you can paste into a post and the image will appear in your post. Hope that makes some sense.

My favourite moments:

- the fellow who accused Justin Trudeau of personally drawing the boundaries in Northern Saskatchewan

Oh wow, I want to know who this person is!

Thanks for your contributions of course - I've enjoyed watching your master plan update over the last year or two.
