Can this be for Canadian districts too?

Basically, I hate any district that uses a name for a person (only found in Quebec)

*Alfred-Pellan (Laval East)
*Honoré-Mercier (Anjou--Rivière-des-Prairies)
*Jeanne-Le Ber (Verdun--Saint-Henri)
*Louis-Hébert (Quebec West)
*Louis-Saint-Laurent (Quebec North)
*Marc-Aurèle-Fortin - (Laval--Thérèse-De Blainville)

It's even worse provincially.

Sure; this sort of thing is always interesting Smiley

Agree on the Quebec names; it's hard to tell where a lot of ridings are there without looking on a map.

I updated my post to reflect my changes.

Alfred-Pellan has to be the worst one, becuase it is so obviously Laval East (and it was). My uncle lives in that riding, and he told me he didnt even know who Alfred Pellan was (and I doubt very many people do)

I'll do some for the Ottawa area as well...

Ottawa--Vanier should be Ottawa East--Vanier
Ottawa--Orléans should be Gloucester--Orléans
Nepean--Carleton should be Nepean--Carleton--Gloucester
Glengarry--Prescott--Russell should be Prescott--Russell--North Glengarry
Renfrew--Nipissing--Pembroke should be Renfrew--Algonquin
Pontiac (QC) should be Pontiac--Gatineau
