When seats were reallocated in 2011:
http://www.elections.ca/content.aspx...t=index&lang=e
Alberta -> 3.78 million people = 10.9% of the population (34.49 million)
Alberta -> 34/338 seats = ~10.0% of the seats
Ontario -> 13.37 million people = 38.8% of the population
Ontario -> 121/338 seats = ~35.8% of the seats
Now if Alberta has grown since then, it will have to be considered when the seats are reallocated, but it isn't realistic to do it just before every election.
