I am not suggesting that Albertans, or folks for SK or Man are victims, or are suffering, but an awareness of what is happening politically out east is important based on historic president.

Manitoba and Saskatchewan definitely aren’t victims as they are over-represented In both the House and the Senate compared to Ontario and Quebec and Alberta and BC. Saskatchewan particularly so.
An equal distribution of seats by province would concentrate more power in Ontario, any other suggestion is just wanting to create more unequal power in a different direction, or decide that democracy should be based on land rather than people.
