After reviewing the maps I am disappointed by the lack of consideration of rural county borders. Municipal and town governments divided into ridings from 2 or 3 different counties is a mistake and mistreatment of representation for rural Ontario.

I think Elections Canada should limit the amount of county border crossings within a riding to 2 at most. Wellington-Perth riding would also now include Howick? From Huron County? These groupings have never existed and little interaction from education boards, hockey associations to library systems would be different. It's a poor way to find representation and no MP would be able to accommodate.

Wellington County and Perth County should have their own riding.

Thanks for your time
