Any chance that the overapportionment of the Commons in favor of the Eastern Prairies, Quebec, and Atlantic Canada might be curbed any time soon?

If it were reapportioned using the US method and these numbers the change would be if the Commons were kept the same:
Canada   308
Newfoundland and Labrador 5 (-2)
Prince Edward Island 1 (-3)
Nova Scotia 9 (-2)
New Brunswick 7 (-3)
Quebec 73 (-2)
Ontario 118 (+12)
Manitoba 11 (-3)
Saskatchewan 9 (-5)
Alberta   32 (+4)
British Columbia 40 (+4)
Yukon Territory 1
Northwest Territories 1
Nunavut    1


If it's politically essential that PEI have more than 1 MCP, an additional 25 MCP's would do the trick.
Canada   333 (+25)
Newfoundland and Labrador 5 (-2)
Prince Edward Island 2 (-2)
Nova Scotia 10 (-1)
New Brunswick 8 (-2)
Quebec 79 (+4)
Ontario 127 (+21)
Manitoba 12 (-2)
Saskatchewan 10 (-4)
Alberta   34 (+6)
British Columbia 43 (+7)
Yukon Territory 1
Northwest Territories 1
Nunavut    1

Incidentally, Assuming that party seats per province remained proportional, then an adjustment of 2006 would have seen roughly the following results for that election:

Conservative Party of Canada    127 (+3)
Liberal Party of Canada    101 (-2)
Bloc Québécois    49 (-2)
New Democratic Party    30 (+1)
Independent 1

Still a conservative minority, but a Tory/Dipper coalition government would at least have been possible though unlikely in practice.

And how is a forum called "Demographics" wrong for census information Huh

When it's a Canadian census and the board is a child of U.S. General Discussion.
