In the on-going work that the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission is doing to re-align boundaries for BC's new 39 Federal Electoral Districts - Al Richmond, Chair of the Cariboo Regional District and Director for Electoral Area 'G' of the Cariboo Regional District, has come out swinging against the proposed changes and says they 'defy logic'. As he says:
100 Mile House, Lac La Hache and 108 Mile don't have much in common with the much more urban Chilliwack area
Richmond plans to make his case to the Commission at their meeting in Prince George on Sept. 17th while 100 Mile Mayor Mitch Campsall plans to oppose the proposed boundary at the Commission's meeting in Kamloops in October
For myself - this is another example of when 'urbanites' try to re-write provincial/federal electoral boundaries and forget about what rural people face in their daily lives
