This wouldn't be a concern under proportional representation (PR). Join us over at !fairvote@lemmy.ca.

I'll miss minority governments. Isn't that how we got healthcare?

And Pharmacare, and dental care. These are just some examples of what government can deliver when we have a representative democracy, as guaranteed under PR.

This is such a weird riding. You can't get from the Western Communities/CRD side to the South Cowichan/CVRD side without passing through a different riding. The new boundaries across the Island are all kinda weird. Another good example is Ladysmith Oceanside, another one you can't get from one end to the other without passing through 2 different ridings.
