Clearly the folks in those ridings in SK, NB and NL are using their massive and disproportionate federal power to work the system to their advantage. They must be stopped.

Given the signing of the ridiculously stupid Atlantic and Sask Accords, I would say so.

That said, I do not like the first past the post system ridings and all. I would prefer some from of PR where seats are assigned based on upon how the country as a whole votes. The system we have now punishes the regions that growing. The allottment of seats can not hope to keep with growth.
