I have a feeling (no more than that) that the commission is made of somewhat sterner stuff, and will recognize partisan pot-banging when they hear and see it. Is it too early to place bets on which Tory MPs will 'retire' (whether really choosing to, or preferring not to face what would be an ugly nomination fight) following the firming up of the redistribution map? Block would have a very hard time in Saskatoon West, with even the eastern suburbs not helping Trost enough in Saskatoon Centre–University to stop the seat falling to the NDP. Let's not even talk about Vellacott. I can't see any of them running in an urban riding.
I could be wrong, but the proposed redistribution makes Wascana a touch more in reach for the NDP. When Goodale decides to retire, that is.
