dude, the UK has twice as many seats as Canada's house of commons [308]! And Canada has a bigger landmass! :)

not surprising though, i don't feel like looking anything up to confirm this, but i'm sure the UK population is bigger than Canada's.

We're over-represented by "modern" standards, more so in Scotland. I was about to say your situation must be even worse until I checked the stats for Canada. Since when have there been thirty-two million of you buggers? God, talk about living the life! You have igloos for houses, don't pay extra for your Guinness to be served cold and spend all your time shagging to keep warm. I am so emigrating!

UK population is apparently sixty million so that's the same proportion. Twice the number of people and twice the number of seats. Guess they don't call Westminster the mother of all parliaments for nothing :D
