Haven’t had time to digest the potential impact on seat counts yet, but the final Boundaries Commission report does have plenty of new names in it:
- Minnedosa-Russell becomes Riding Mountain
- Turtle Mountain becomes Spruce Woods
- Rupertsland becomes Kewatinook
- Dauphin-Roblin is now just Dauphin
- Carman-Pembina becomes Midland
- Tache becomes Dawson Trail
- Inkster becomes Tyndall Park
- Wellington becomes Logan
- Pembina-Jubilee becomes Fort Garry-Riverview
- Fort Garry becomes Fort Richmond
h/t to the Hack.
Minnedosa-Russell, Tache, Pembina-Jubilee and Carman-Pembina never existed as constituencies except in the interim 2008 boundary report.
@yellowsnow – Yes, I realize that. I was comparing the “proposed” to the “final.” Compared to existing, I guess you could say:
– Minnedosa and Russell become Riding Mountain
– Dawson Trail is created
– Lord Roberts and Fort Garry become Fort-Garry Riverview and Fort Richmond
– Carman and Pembina become Midland and Morden-Winkler
@ PolicyFrog – I knew that you knew. I just think it makes more sense to compare the existing to the final. I like the name changes. BTW, Rusell becomes Riding Mountain and Ste. Rose is now Agassiz.
Oh yes, forgot about Agassiz, which was in the proposed changes. And I guess it would be more fair to say that Minnedosa gets merged into several surrounding constituencies.
Hello from exotic Logan! I now find myself in The urban riding. Should be interesting to see if we even get an incumbent and how politics here will play out. I noted long ago that this is a severe change from the original Wellington riding and, moreover, that the numbers suggest an urban takeover for that location. This should be a most interesting riding and I wouldn’t be surprised to see it go one of three ways.
Merry Christmas to the Frog and all your comment readers!
