Census subdivisions vs polling subdivisions

Vs. electoral areas, that is. While the census does use the provincially-derived regional district electoral areas as subdivisions, I'm not so sure this is the case with the polling subdivisions, which are federally-defined, though using electoral area boundaries in spots I'd imagine, simply because the census does. However, I think you'll find that some RD electoral areas are in more than one riding; ridings do not coincide with electoral districts, I don't see why polling boundaries would be. Also federal and provincial polling subdivisions are different; and not even provincial polling districts have much to do with electoral areas (more to do with postal codes, I think....). What I'm getting at is I don't see the relevance of electoral/census subdivisions when there exist more relevant polling divisions; I'm not familiar enough with the latest round of redistribution to offer comparative examples; maybe I'm wrong and the electoral areas and polling subdivisions are identical - polling divisions are lot smaller than EAs though so probably several within each one, huh? Historically, though, provincial and federal administrative boundaries of all types in British Columbia have rarely coincided historically unless mandated by the landscape; maybe with polling there's a direct link to the census subdivisions; but the "background" riding boundaries were evolved long before RDs came into existence, likewise the polling divisions. Can someone prove for me that the EAs are how Elections Canada breaks down the electoral district? If not, then the list of EAs should be removed and replaced with a list of communities/places.Skookum1 (talk) 23:36, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
