re the 308-riding plans. "...Mr. Kennedy argued that the Liberals' leadership convention opened doors in the West, where people saw “a party that is more likely to connect with the people in their communities.”..."
I'll bet that the only reason McLellan kept her seat so long was pragmatism on the part of the voters (other than the diehards and the illegally registered voters that WORKED rather than lived in her riding). With the CPC in power, we have more than "a" seat at the table.
