Redistribution of Federal Electoral Districts 2012

Great map!

Growth in my neck of the woods is really interesting. The older areas parts of Orleans declined, like my census tract or other older areas north and south of the highway; while subdivisions in Avalon and Chapel Hill South are booming; as is exurban Cumberland. Interesting to see high growth in Sandy Hill and downtown.

Calgary/Edmonton or any of those big cities which are gonna gain seats would great.

Quebec, Ontario and Saskatchewan will probably be the most fun. Any word out on when we can expect those?

For once, the 308 guy did something useful (and correct, I guess) - he did the Newfoundland redistribution. The new Avalon would have been won by Fabian Manning, the Tory, with 38.5% against 34.9% for the Liberals and 25.4% for the NDP. The Liberals would have won with over 50% of the vote in the 3 mainland ridings.

Earl, you'll hate it, there is a ton of ridings named about people, like Gilles Villeneuve.

Jesus Christ. How long till we get a Celine Dion riding at this rate?

The NCR is interesting. There's a downtown Gatineau (Hull and Versant district) district named 'Outaouais' (a weird name). Aylmer forms a riding extending into the Gatineaus with Wakefield and Chelsea following A-105 and road 105. There is a eastern Gatineau/Buckingham/Masson-Angers/Val des Monts district named 'Petite Nation' (wtf). And a huge remote district called Hautes Laurentides-Pontiac.

Montreal looks pretty stupid.

And the naming is terrible. The people behind this should be shot.

Given that the commission is clearly trolling us, I feel like seriously proposing the name 'Justin-Bieber' for the new Perth-Wellington riding.

Amends to the constituencies-named-after-celebrities list:

Kingston and the Islands or Ottawa-Vanier: Bryan-Adams
Ottawa-Vanier: Vanessa-Morgan

Ugh they didn't even rename the Barrhaven riding? Incompetent wankers.
