"we can’t help but wonder whether there’s a better way."

Before I address the quote, I should add the history of the borders between the provinces in Canada were created without much thought either. Some rich powerful white guys drew lines on a map to show how powerful they were. That was that.

There is a better way. I've been working on it for 24 years.

Just maybe we might be able to redraw some of these boundaries.
