Sounds like some pretty creative riding boundaries.
Its not quite the work of the gerrymander... but the rural/urban split that they have to fix right away. The data is in its raw form, but if you took the results from Calgary alone and Edmonton alone, you'd find a much closer battle.

The Supreme Court better make those dufuses change the ridings, cause I don't see Farmer Ed doing it voluntarily.
