Mcgee: Mont Royal-Outremont

mcgee: In March Elections Quebec announced it was merging the ridings of Mont Royal and Outremont to create a new larger riding, and enlarging the riding of D'Arcy McGee, according to CTV. Montreal city councillor Marvin Rotrand said this would shrink the electoral voice of anglophones. In addition to the inherent unfairness of creating a riding with more people than the provincial average, the group says it is concerned about the loss of a voice for several ethnic communities. We go from three ridings, Mont Royal, Outremont, and D'Arcy McGee, to two. D'Arcy McGee 56,265 voters, 14.9 percent above average Mont Royal-Outremont 56,390 voters, 15.2 percent above average With 90 percent of the province's English-speaking population living in Montreal, people are also concerned the English community will lose a voice in the National Assembly. Under the new map D'Arcy McGee and Mont Royal-Outremont will have about 15 percent more voters than the average. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
