Manitoba Legislature and ridings drawn for fair representation
A Manitoba editorial argues for potential reduction of legislative seats, praising the ten year riding redrawing commission while noting critics want fewer members to boost efficiency. It recalls 1923 proposals to trim 57 to 40 and discusses rural versus urban representation and the role of independent commissions in redistributing districts. The piece also contrasts historic party newspapers with modern independent weeklies, noting democracy benefits from diverse, nonpartisan local coverage.
