      Interesting, there’s not particularly any super easy way to access details this specific, without diving into the government files.

    2. Kinda surprised at how many constituents there actually were in some of these rural districts

      It’s interesting that a lot of the cities have small populations, like Trois Rivières, Algoma, Sherbrooke and Niagara. They must have gone with the city limits at the time and there just weren’t that many people living there while rural areas were divided up more evenly.

      This is a cool map, and to add more nuance:

      The Anti Confederation Party sent 18 MPs to the first Parliament – all from Nova Scotia.

      The Liberal-Conservatives sent 29 MPs to Parliament, and they sided with the Conservatives 71 MPs to form a government of 100MPs [under SJAMacondald, who ran as a Liberal Conservative]

      [Argenteuil, Brant North, Carleton, Compton, Dundas, Huntingdon, Kingston, L‘ Assomption, Lanark North, Lévis, Lincoln, London, Middlesex East, Monck, Montreal East, Montreal West, Northumberland East, Ontario South (Durham RM), Ottawa City, Ottawa County, Quebec City West, Sherbrooke, Simcoe South, St. John City, Stanstead, Stormont, Victoria, Wellington North, and York West voted and elected Liberal-Conservative.]

      The Liberal Party had 62 MPs Elected.

    5. Manitoba (1870) and BC (1871) joined confederation during this map’s time period but why aren’t they shown? Is it only showing MPs who won the 1867 election?

      Also what’s that green riding in the Sudbury area? The list of MPs in the top right seem to only show red and blue.

      It’s interesting seeing some of the surnames of these M.P.s some of their families are still quite prominent. For example, the Ault family is still around and fairly wealthy in the Stormont, Dundas & Glengarry area.
