It's easy but it is FAR more important to have 'neighbourhoods" together at the municipal level and the recent federal review split several. St Lawrence is split along The Esplanade and the Distillery along Mill - that was just stupid and absolutely should not be replicated at the Provincial level and MUST not be replicated at the municipal level. (Of course there is no sign of any wish to have a redistribution at the Provincial level that I have heard of.
There also appears to be no great wish to have MORE City councillors and I agree that we certainly do not need more and could well do with less (not likely to happen) but if the population in Wards increases the Councillors will certainly need more staff.
It would really take a great leader to actually get politicians to reduce their own numbers. I doubt Tory can do it.
I doubt that anyone could. Are the actually Ward boudaries determined by the Province, since the City's are just products of the province?
