A Canadian political shorthand for 'representation by population' — the democratic principle that legislative seats should be allocated based on how many people live in a given region, not equal weight per province or territory. It was a hot-button debate in pre-Confederation Canada and remains a meaningful concept in discussions about electoral fairness. The snappy abbreviation cuts through the jargon and makes a complex constitutional concept instantly accessible in casual political conversation.
