How to read these numbers

What this data can and can’t tell you

  • Election results. Official counts for 2019 and 2021 are by the 2013 ridings; Elections Canada also re-counted the 2021 ballots onto the 2023 ridings by polling division, and that estimate is what “today’s boundaries” means here.
  • Which riding. Where residents of the 2021 Census live decides the riding; any riding with 5% of them or more is named.
  • Who holds each seat. Who holds each seat is read from Wikidata, so a very recent change in the Commons may not appear yet.
  • Not on this page. How councillors voted once in office, and band councils, are beyond the open record.
  • Council money. Spending by service comes from MAMH’s consolidated 2024 financial report, revenue, debt and reserves from its financial profile, all per resident on MAMH’s population.
  • Council size. The 2021 Census population is shared over all council seats, including the head of council’s, for this ratio.
