The fast increasing population of Indian and other immigrant communities has forced the Canadian government to raise the number of MPs from 308 to 338.

The Conservative Party government has introduced a bill in parliament to raise the number of its seats by 30. If the bill is passed, the new seats will come into effect from 2014.


Most of the new constituencies will be created in the areas dominated by south Asians and Chinese in the provinces of Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta.


While Ontario, which has a huge presence of Indians in Toronto and its suburbs, will get 18 more seats, British Columbia with Punjabi-dominant Surrey, Abbotsford and other cities will get seven and Alberta five.


Most of Indians in Canada are settled in these three provinces.


Since many of the new constituencies will be created out of the seats currently held by Indo-Canadian MPs, Canada is set to see many more Indian faces in its future parliaments.

5. Perhaps

But I wonder how this author knows ?

The riding distributions have yet to be made?

Calculating the percentages, it seems that things are about right.

I think the author really means Indo Canadian. You can't vote in Canadian elections if you are not Canadian.

And tell that to PEI!

9. Let me guess. Indo-Canadians tend to vote Con?

And where in Alberta is there an area dominated by anyone but "blue-eyed Arabs" (i.e. oil-rich whites)?
