Ex-NDP MP accuses Conservative MP of “gerrymandering” riding boundary change

From the Winnipeg Free Press:

Former NDP MP Jim Maloway says the Conservatives are trying to change the boundaries of Elmwood-Transcona to make the riding easier for them to win again in the next election.

Now Maloway says Toet is working to engineer the riding to make it easier for him to hold on to it in the next election.

“It is kind of shocking “It’s as obvious a gerrymandering operation as you can get.” (see here)

The definition of gerrymandering from Merriam Webster:

Gerrymandering: to divide (an area) into political units to give special advantages to one group

That is a very serious charge especially to be stating publicly in the media and would hazard to guess that it is considered libellous.
