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. Band councils, and what members did once elected: the open record stops at the vote.
  • Election results. Elections Canada redrew the ridings in 2023 and re-tallied the 2021 ballots onto the new map from polling divisions; that estimate, and the official 2019 and 2021 counts on the old map, are what you see.
  • 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.
  • Council size. For residents per seat, the head of council is counted as a seat, and the population is the 2021 Census figure.
  • Council money. Per resident uses MAMH’s population; the 2024 financial report gives charges by service and the financial profile the revenue, debt and reserves.
