Canadian Politics Today

And, as noted earlier or in another thread, the inordinate amount of power wielded by small, backward states with their senate seats is a huge issue...  and this is an issue with the “system”.

The fact that Wyoming, pop ~600,000 has the same political power as California pop 35,000,000, skews the democratic process so far towards states that have no population that it’s ridiculous.

We do the same thing with our Senate. We split it into regions with Quebec and Ontario each being a region and the four western provinces as another region.This results in BC being hugely under represented in the our Senate with Quebec and the Atlantic provinces hugely over represented.

PEI has the same population as Abbotsford and it has four Senators, only two less than all of BC.
