People in the purple region are usually not represented in the Senate of Canada | Canada has a bicameral parliament. Although the elected House of Commons (lower house) is the more important legislative chamber, the appointed Senate (upper house) still has an important role in reviewing legislation, acting as the "sober second thought." In general, a senator would represent their entire province, but uniquely in Québec, senators represent one of 24 senate divisions. Those 24 Québec regional divisions have not changed since 1867, and because the province had expanded geographically since then, the purple area is not part of any of the 24 divisions and thus is not typically represented by a senator. This area has a population of roughly 150,000. While this region typically does not have a seat in the Senate, when all 105 Senate seats are filled, the Governor General (on advice of the Prime Minister) can expand the legislature by appointing additional senators. They can either appoint one or two additional senators for each of the original Senate divisions: - The West, comprising of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba,
- Ontario,
- Québec, and
- The Maritimes, comprising of New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia.
Additional senators appointed in Québec do not have to be represented in one of the 24 Québec regional divisions from 1867, which means those senators could represent the area in the purple if they choose. In contrast, the areas in green (Newfoundland & Labrador and the territories) are not part of the original Senate divisions as set out in the constitution, so additional senators cannot be from these areas. submitted by /u/minor_leaguer13 [link] [comments] | |

Chicago, Curved: Today’s CTA lines in the style of the 1937 ‘Fish-Eye’ transit map | Chicago, Curved: Today’s CTA lines in the style of the 1937 ‘Fish-Eye’ transit map Chicago, curved to the Earth. This map I recreated is a modern tribute to the iconic 1937 “fish-eye” poster created by the Chicago Rapid Transit Company. Reimagined with today’s CTA system, this design blends retro flair with curved lines, updated colors, and all current train routes included. Enjoy!

Every country mentioned in the 9th grade history textbook in Greece. | Red: Mentioned very frequently Orange: Very few mentions (only 1 in many of them) Grey: Zero mentions Btw, Czechia and Slovakia weren't mentioned separately, only in the form of Czechoslovakia and the Jews were mentioned quite often and I wasn't sure what to do with Israel so I left it orange.
