Ontario has 121 seats... that is, aside from Quebec, THREE TIMES the next highest province.

That said, the Atlantic provinces are an issue - they have way more seats than there should be per population. I think it is less than 1:60k electors compared to the 1:100k electors in Alberta, for example.


Newfoundland has 7, compared to the 1 it had 6 years ago. And guess what? that 1 person? wasn't getting heard. No matter how many times we had real issues going on, whether it be foreigners fishing in our waters with Ottawa doing nothing about it, or some dumb broad Pam Anderson coming to our province to protest a fishing practice that hasn't been used in 50 years. I'm glad they have more seats in the house now.

That said, as I said before the entire thing needs to be changed. Many provinces aren't getting heard when big issues pop up. It's bad enough when the premier doesn't do his job, but when the Prime Minister doesn't do it. All hope is lost. Now, that said, Trudeau through all his controversy has been much better than Harper. Harper only cared for Alberta.
