Gerrymandering in Canada
The gerrymandering wikipedia article
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Gerrymandering
has some excellent maps of U.S. electoral districts that exemplify

There is also a significant section on Canada in this article.

electoral boundaries have seen as of late:

is anyone interested in working on some Canadian examples for the

Or is someone doing this already out there?
Thanks,
