Mu S H BLm t, in a recent speech,
in referring to the Redistribution Bill,
said : The Government made' no
attempt at an equitable redistribution,
as honest men would do. The unit of
representation was about 23,000. But
they left uitou;rhed . Brockville with.
15,000, Card well with 15,000, Fron tenae
10,000, Leeds and Grenville 13,000,
Lennox 14,000, Peterboro West 15,-
000, Peel 15,000. They made no
attempt at equalization by joining any
of these with otliers. Then they left
one Member for North Essex 31,000,
one for Kent 31,000, one for East
relento 43,000, ono for West York
41,000, one for East York 35,000.
No attempt was made to remedy
these anomalies. In Quebec the
gerrymandering was something terri-
ble. in other Provinces it was course
than in Ontario. The people" of Ca-
nada are living under a so called can,
stitntionat government. These men
in power delight to shout about the
constitution, the British constitution,
but that is the way they deal with the
constitution, that is the way they
attack the constitution, that is the
way they invade the constitution
