    Not to mention population dispersion. Majority of Millennials live closer to urbanized areas (COVID allowed for remote work from rural areas, but that’s been shortlived), while boomers have been the reverse.

    So when 3mil in an urban area get 2 MPs, but 1mil dispersed in the rurals get 5 seats - it’s not so much about millennials voting against their interest.

      Where is that happening well not perfect our ridings seem pretty dispersed by population. Well I don’t know every riding obviously care to share done examples where 1 million people have 5 mos and 3 million have 1.

        All of northern Ontario together is 1/3 of Toronto’s population, yet have more seats federally and provincially. And North Ontario population skews much older. This is a well documented and known issue in Canadian politics.
