I'm not quite awake yet... by Kickstart 2006-01-24 09:18:07
...someone help me with this math problem?

The following are the number of seats and the population of the province. I'd like to set the number 1 as the average Canadian's "vote worth", and then determine from these numbers how much a person in each of these provinces is worth in terms of election power (like Quebec could be 1.4, PEI 1.6, SK 0.7, etc.). This intentionally ignores the number of eligible or participating voters...this is total population of each.

Newfoundland, 7, 512930
PEI,4,135294
NS,11,908007
NB,10,729498
Quebec,75,7237479
Ontario,106,11410046
Manitoba,14,1119583
Saskatchewan,14,978933
Alberta,28,2974807
BC,36,3907738

Thanks,

KS
