In the census’s list of municipalities, Morris is a town. In Manitoba, councils aren’t on any open list we can use, so Morris’ mayor isn’t named. No provincial riding is named for Morris, since the terms of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba’s boundary file couldn’t be checked. Of the 14 Commons seats from Manitoba, the Conservative Party of Canada holds 7.

- Who holds each seat. MPs come from Wikidata’s records of the 45th Parliament, which can lag a resignation or a by-election by some days.
- Which riding. Each place is put in its ridings by where its 2021 Census residents live; a riding holding 5% or more of them is listed.
- Election results. The 2019 and 2021 figures are Elections Canada’s official counts on the ridings drawn in 2013; the “today’s boundaries” figures are its transposition of the 2021 vote onto the 2023 ridings, an estimate built from polling divisions.
- Not on this page. Who controls the council by party (the open lists give none, and most Canadian councils sit without parties), budgets and band councils.
