I'm not taking a position on it one way or the other. I am saying there is merit to both sides. You make your position clear.

There are other people in the province who have a different opinion, as they wait for a highway to be twinned so the hundreds of commercial and industrial vehicles ripping by on a daily basis using their their infrastructure don't drive them off the road. They also see the population of their towns decrease every Thursday through Sunday as people "go home" for the weekend. They tell me that if you based the allocation on Monday through Thursday afternoon, they are entitled to drastically more resources and representation. If you base it from Thursday through Sunday, they may be entitled to the same. But what they do know is that billions of dollars come through there each month that cannot be ignored.

I see it as an issue which is only going to get more difficult. There is going to be a push for higher density development in both Calgary and Edmonton.

Further, i believe the last report for the constituency re-distribution recommended that the province engage in the debate for this exact purpose. That debate hasn't happened. It needs to.
