I have quite a few creative ideas, but am too tired to write them down rn. I’ll go the easy, lazy way (and write about more legislation ideas tomorrow):

Proportional representation like Germany. In every election, the voter votes for an individual and a party. The individual is chosen to represent the riding through STAR voting (my version). After all MPs are elected, to ensure proportional representation according to the party votes (the second vote that voters cast), individuals from party lists are put into parliament.

This way, we get riding representation and party representation.

    Like do they have forestry, mining, other materials, agriculture, potash, freshwater lakes, fisheries, other wildlife, tourism

      They have Mecca. Otherwise, basically no, AFAIK it’s a one-trick pony. And there’s a bit of a problem getting that trick to market ATM.

      (We also have a somewhat larger population than them)

      Saudi Arabia probably has a total value in resources not too different from Canada, but much more concentrated on fossil fuels and for which it is/was much more straightforward to build the extraction infrastructure
