How to read these numbers

What this data can and can’t tell you

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Which riding. Ridings are assigned from the 2021 Census: the one with most residents first, then any holding 5% or more.
  • Council size. The 2021 Census population is shared over all council seats, including the head of council’s, for this ratio.
  • 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.
