How to read these numbers

What this data can and can’t tell you

  • Election results. Two maps are in play: the 2013 ridings, on which 2019 and 2021 were counted, and the 2023 ridings, onto which Elections Canada transposed the 2021 vote poll by poll.
  • Which riding. Ridings are assigned from the 2021 Census: the one with most residents first, then any holding 5% or more.
  • 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.
  • Not on this page. How councillors voted once in office, and band councils, are beyond the open record.
  • Council money. MAMH’s 2024 financial report, consolidated: charges by service, with revenue, debt and reserves from the financial profile, per resident with MAMH’s own population.
  • Council size. For residents per seat, the head of council is counted as a seat, and the population is the 2021 Census figure.
