Rep by pop, or representation by population, does not apply to Prince Edward Island (PEI) due to its unique political and historical context. PEI has a small population, and its political structure is influenced by the need to ensure that smaller provinces have equitable representation in the federal government. As a result, the province maintains a minimum number of representatives in Parliament to ensure that its voice is not overshadowed by larger provinces, balancing population-based representation with regional interests.

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.


Why was rep by pop favoured by Canada west but not by Canada east?
