Holy crap. Perhaps someone can enlighten me since I've only been following Canadian politics for a year or so, but did the conservatives make a retroactive law after an election that essentially eliminated their competition due to a retroactive change in laws? That sounds like a beneficial move for them, but from an outsider's point of view I don't think I've ever seen a more blatant abuse of power to eliminate competition. Off the top of my head I can think of a few amendments and constitutional rights that would challenge this and a laundry list of civil statutes that would have problems with this as well.
The punishment if a judge deems the debts uncollectable? imprisonment. Because they abided by the rules in their election but the conservatives retroactively changed the rules. I'm not even Canadian and this pisses me off heh.

Example: Delaware is worth 3 electoral votes: 2 senators, 1 HoR. It's population is relatively small. California is the most populous state and also has the most electoral votes: 55, 2 senators and 53 HoR. This was done to balance the "will of the people" with the different cultures that is our melting pot.
I personally don't like the idea of 55% of California getting 100% of the electoral votes and I also like the way Maine can divide votes. I definitely agree with one of the above posters who said we would need to reform the redistricting system. I think we should do it anyway. How about a grid? I'm super creative, I know...
