You would literally never get a governmental change as most of those seats would vote along traditional party lines.
Divisive, sure... but more democratic and less alienation if you increase regional powers. Canada is too big to be as centralized as it is both at the federal and provincial levels. As it stands right now, in most areas of the country, we have urban voters making choices for rural people, easterners making decisions for westerners, southerners making decisions for northerners, wealthy for poor (and vice-versa), and so on...
