Harper knows Quebec's just about a lost cause, and when you're working out of 75%, a majority is hard to make. With 21 more seats in Ontario, a proince in which he did win a majority of the seats last time, he's mattering his own chances of forming a majority government. It's not vote buying, it's stacking the deck. |

No, I'd say it's vote buying, because when the next election rolls around, I'm sure he'll be telling every Ontario resident who will listen about how they're getting more say in federal politics. It's nothing more than a bribe to get Ontarioans (?) to vote Conservative. |

You can just bet that those new seats will be quite a ways away from Toronto too.

with the Tories initial proposal the new seats would've gone Ontario 10, Alberta 5, BC 7, funny how now Quebec's all but lost and they're way up in the polls in Ontario we're suddenly getting 11 extra seats. Wonder how many of those 21 seats will go to urban ridings? |

Lets see electoral districts were changed in 97, again in 03, and now in 09. Pattern? Of course not. Also, the three provinces are the most under-represented based on population. While Quebec is over represented. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_House_of_Commons But why should that matter. Harper is clearly evil. Seems some of you really need to get over your hatred of Harper and look a little more closely at what he is doing. He isn't perfect, but he isn't Satan either. |
