So Ontario would have 36 “top-up” MPs, and the total 142 would be in at least eight regions.Wilf Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05546880754492040363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6615716556540686703.post-46929184376073277432012-02-11T12:28:27.433-05:002012-02-11T12:28:27.433-05:00I think the big question is how are those 105 seat...I think the big question is how are those 105 seats going to be distributed among the provinces.

(And, the GG replaced by the head of The Assembly of First Nations - this latter thought goes to succession, I just can't see Charles on the coin - it wouldn't structurally change much.)

They are doing quite a bit of work in the area of democratic reform. http://leadnow.ca/en/aboutlocal949https://www.blogger.com/profile/17318542175533670896noreply@blogger.com
