Best Answer

The main groups of the British, Irish, and Scottish Protestant people of Canada West began to build a stronger population against the French-Canadian Catholic people of Canada East. They wanted to build a government based on themselves; therefore they supported Representation by Population or Rep By Pop.

Why would people in Canada east object to geogre brown demand for representational to population?

Dealing with minorities in democracies have always been a challenge and at the time Canada East was the minority. When Canada West had a lower population than Canada East there was no talk of Rep by Pop because they enjoyed an equal number of seats in the Canadian parliament. Canada West started talking about Rep by Pop only after their population became larger than Canada East. Canada West's Rep by Pop was a clear effort to marginalize or dominate Canada East. Interestingly Canadian history is repeating itself in the Proportional Representation movement. Presented as a solution to a first past the post system in which the winner gets dictatorial power for up to 5yrs it can only disenfranchise many Canadian Nations and cultures. Canada East saw that in Rep by Pop, we can see it today in Prop Rep.
