I think the problems with vote distribution are grossly overstated

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...oral_districts

In general ridings are larger than 40k and smaller than 50k. There are a few outliers on the small side for very reasonable reasons.

Even after 10 years of growth aren’t terrible. They could be election deciding by are reasonable.

I think a conversation worth having is where do you draw boundaries between suburban and rural and small urban centers. This is where gerrymandering can occur. But the idea that rural is vastly over represented is overstated. It is not 18% controls 50%
