Comments:
I have removed the Town of Tilsonburg since the proper riding is the new Brant – Oxford Riding. The town of Tillsonburg has nothing in common or issues with the new Haldimand – Norfolk – Six Nations. Tilsonburg has always been part of the federal riding in Oxford County. All of issues and concerns federally provincially, and regionally have to do with Oxford County. It appears Tillsonburg was removed from the new Brant – Oxford riding due to population distribution – meaning there was too many people in Brant – Oxford and it was easy to just add the 18000 souls to Haldimand – Norfolk – Six Nations.

Comments:
The town of Tillsonburg is being proposed to join the new riding of Haldimand-Norfolk-Six Nations whic is wrong. Tillsonburg has always been part of the federal riding in Oxford County. Tillsonburg has nothing in common or has issues in common with Haldimand - Norfolk-Six Nations. All of our day to day federal / provincial / regional issues are with Oxford County. Therefore the correct federal riding for Tillsonburg is Brant-Oxford.
I believe when the new ridings of Brant - Oxford and Haldimand- Norfolk -Six Nations were proposed the population numbers were to high in Brant - Oxford and too low in Haldimand - Norfolk- Six Nations so Tillsonburg was lopped off Brant- Oxford and moved to Haldimand- Norfolk - Six Nations. Please rework to data and put Tillsonburg back where it belongs with Oxford County.
