Well speaking as a small town folk fella from the Maritimes, I can't say I give a crap about poor Alberta, BC or Ontario losing a little bit of representation since most of the decisions that affect the country are dictated by those same provinces, including Quebec, while the rest of us just dangle in the breeze to whichever direction those provinces wish to blow.
There never was a point in most provinces voting in federal elections to begin with considering the final decision on what parties lead what are generally determined by Ontario & Quebec for the most part..... once they clear Ontario's count, it's pretty well a foregone conclusion as to who's going to win.
Giving BC, Alberta and Ontario more representation won't make a lick of difference for anybody else in the country, so in my view, I couldn't care less if this passed or failed..... but on the principle of increasing those province's representation while the other provinces that hardly have any representation remain the same, thus by overall %, get less representation due to this plan, I'm against the idea.
If the only excuse for this is to shove a stick in Quebec's eye..... they're going to have to come up with a better excuse...... and I have yet to see anything that would justify me in voting Conservative next election in order to lead to a Majority.
The big question for both approving this plan and giving the Conservatives a Majority is, What's in it for the rest of us?
The answer to both situations is: Nothing.
