Canadians: “lol America’s electoral system is so dumb.”
Canada’s electoral system: “ Under current law, provinces don’t lose seats, even when their share of the population falls. At the same time, growth in the size of the House is severely restricted, so fast-growing provinces barely gain seats. That’s why Ontario, after adding nearly two million people since 2011, will get only one additional MP in the next parliament, whereas the 1.9 million people of the Maritimes are represented by 25 MPs.”

Opinion: Two million more people but only one more MP? It’s time to bring rep by pop back to Parliament — The Globe and Mail
A couple of small changes can bring Canada a lot closer to equality of votes, and fairness, without adding more than a handful of MPs
