[From Shelley's Commentary]

I read these statistics on a brochure for Fair Vote Canada:

In the 2004 Federal Election:

• a half-million Green Party voters across the country elected nobody, while fewer than half-million Liberal voters in Atlantic Canada elected 22 MPs.
• the NDP received more votes than the Bloc, but Bloc gained nearly three times as many seats.
• In the prairie provinces Liberals cast half as many votes as Conservatives but the Conservatives elected seven times as many MPs.
• 13 Conservative MPs were elected in Saskatchewan and none in Quebec, even though significantly more people voted Conservative in Quebec.
