It's totally weighted to the east right now, and wouldn't change much with your proposal but it would be improved. The amount of senators attributed to the maritimes is really absurd.
I'd like to see a more balanced senate, either through true pop by rep or dividing the country into more appropriate regions (IE: Quebec, Ontario, East, Prairies, West, and North.)
