That is one thing that easily could and should be changed to reflect the current populations.

And this is a huge reason why I'm whining so loud. Because it's never gonna happen. For it to happen, the constitution has to be changed. Quebec and Ontario and (IIRC) a few other provinces already have their entitled seat amount that is greater than we can achieve. Why would they ever give up their advantage?

Being told to suck it up is fine, but it's starting to sound like wife-beating after awhile.
