The most im- portant changes are in the "golden horseshoe" area from Niagara 'Ito Oshawa where new ridings are being created to take into account huge population increases. Two ridings in Northern' Ontario will disappear through amalgamation, All stocks --of . Ontario winter wheat owned by, the Ontario Wheat' Prodticers' Marketing Board have been sold.

This - ;continues oneof the •• political facts of life in which rural.. areas - for many Years have carried disproportionate weight, with small populations of farmers electing parliamen- tary representatives whose votes are just as good as mem- hers elected by. much larger ur- "ban _areas: -This --seems to have .. been stabilized at a, difference of about 2°,900_ persons bet- ween- the rural and urban. ridings.

As to the timing of the proposed changes, news, stories to. the. effect they could fake place late in 1973 do not seem - realistic to Mr. McKinley. • As to the possibility ,`of an election in the near Future, Mr. McKinley declined to make any prediction on that score, poin- ting out that the Progressive - Conservative policy as enun- ciated by Opposition Leader Robert Stanfield has been to operate in Parliament on a "one:day-at-a-time” basis, and prepared for any eventuality.
