Don Macpherson: Anglos' supposed new political influence is an illusion

The harsh mathematical reality for anglos is in newly published socio-economic data on the 125 provincial ridings on the new electoral map to be used in this year’s election. 
They show that people who most often speak French at home are the majority of the population in all but 13 ridings. In the latter, speakers of languages other than French or English combine with anglos to form the majority ... 
Anglos, however, form the dominant home-language group in only six ridings, all in the western half of Montreal Island.
