Personally i'm a very left leaning individual except with respect to fiscal policy. When comparing the total seats available, Quebec has 75 and Alberta has 28. Basically we are proportionally represented, but I would suggest that the conservative domination here has no regional benefit.
It's not like i'm suggesting separation or something foolish of that nature. I'm just apalled that the BQ have such influence considering their limited national presence. They really need to be marginalized.

Well by those numbers we aren't represented the same. Quebec has a representation of 1 MP for every 100,000 people and Alberta has an 1 MP
for every 117,000 people. 17% disadvantage.
