The North Island riding produces a lot of raw materials.............wood, fish and ore, but how does the $ value compare to that of the goods manufactured in one of the urban ridings?
" For example the lower mainland has more MLAs than the rest of the province combined."..................And possibly generates more money than the rest of the province combined!
BUT the entire population north of Campbell River including Gold River and Tahsis up to Cape Scott (and Zeballos) is less than that of Port Alberni and they both have one seat!
No doubt that is a possibility, but as the metrics of the situation aren't generally known at the individual's level and possibly shouldn't be then it wouldn't be within the realm of the individual.
