Resdistricting Question

[QueenCanadia]

do they redistrict in canada? how often? who decides on boundaries? is there as much upset and hassle over it as we have in the US?

What do you mean by redistrict? Like the electoral boundaries? That depends on whether or not it's the provincial government or federal government is doing it. Do they change provincial and territorial boundaries? Rarely, the last one was in 1999 when the government created Nunavut.

Not usually a big deal here, I know gerrymandering seems to be all the rage south of the border tho.
