I'm not a fan, as it concentrates power by region even moreso. You think Ontario has alot of power now... wait until you get a minority govenment with 80% of the representitive from Ontario and Quebec.

Strange I think the opposite would occur. Ontario and Quebec won't be voting 100% Liberal. Some will vote Conservative, some will vote Green, some NDP, some BLOC and Liberal. Perhaps some would vote for new parties that would spring up because they'd actually have a chance to win a seat.
Right now you have Ontario dominated by Libs and the West dominated by Conservatives. This causes a lot of the regionalism. If you have the liberals and conservatives diluted in both areas and a lot more minority opinions, I would think this would diffuse some of the heavy regionalism currently in the Conservative and Liberal parties. People could vote their conscience in terms of political ideologies instead of being dominated by the regional majority and that being the focus.
