Our government is skewed and broken and that is just the way it is.
Each province receives a percentage of the seats in parliament in direct proportion to its population -- that's the exact opposite of being skewed. You may not like it, but that doesn't make it "skewed and broken".

Currently a few provinces are either slightly over- or under-represented because electoral districts have not been redrawn recently to reflect population data from the latest census. Alberta, BC, and Ontario have a few seats less than they should; Quebec is the only province with exactly the right amount of seats that their population mandates.
