The proposed changes to the riding boundaries in Quebec manage to erase the names of Liberal prime ministers from the landscape: Laurier (Mtl) = gone; Louis Saint-Laurent (Qcity) = gone.
And there are a bunch of proposed Conservative names.
Astonishingly cynical, actually.
Cynical? This is part of Harper's revising history and/or destroying memory of the Liberal Party.
