The Canadian House of Commons
A century of standout Canadian elections, squared away
Land doesn't vote. What kind of map do you get when every electoral district is shown at precisely the same size? Useful at a glance while also rewarding careful study, my unique "cartogram" visualizations are the most interesting way to dive into a federal election.
From Vancouver Island to the Niagara Peninsula, distorted but recognizable, this is the human shape of Canada. If you ever wondered why political strategists are so weird, it's because this is the way that they see the country!
I add more years periodically, keep an eye out and be sure to email me with particular requests!
