Our senate works on a regional basis, rather than a provincial. Which makes it seem really strange sometimes, like how New Brunswick has more seats than Alberta, while Alberta has a population that's almost 2 times larger. But the Atlantic in total has about the same number of seats as the Praries.
If I remember corectly the regions are like this
Atlantic (Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labradour, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick)
Quebec
Ontario
Praries (Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Northwest Territories, Nunavut)
Pacific (British Columbia, Yukon Territories)
They haven't re-done the system for a while though, so it's not really balanced that well.
