The article discusses the issue of redrawing electoral boundaries in Alberta, which is done every eight years. The process involves dividing the province into equally populated ridings, but this becomes challenging in rural areas where the ridings would be too large. Provincial law allows for up to four rural ridings to have fewer people, ensuring "effective" representation rather than equal representation. Redrawing boundaries is a political process, and past governments have tended to favor rural ridings over progressive cities. The current UCP government will need to establish its own boundaries commission and make decisions about seat allocation based on the population growth in major cities and the political reality of their reliance on the "rest of Alberta."
