Isn't the recommendation for re-distribution supposed to make it closer to what I am advocating for? That is, rural Alberta is presently over-represented compared to Calgary and Edmonton, so the two big cities should receive more seats in the legislature such that their government representation more closely matches their population?

It may be. The issue is not going away and I hope we see some political leadership to tackle it and the accompanying dialogue.
