pointe-a-la-croix.com ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Council size. Every seat counts, the head of council’s too, against the population of the 2021 Census.
- 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.
- 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. Band councils, and what members did once elected: the open record stops at the vote.
- 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.
