Arthur (electoral district)
Arthur is a former provincial electoral division in the Canadian province of Manitoba. It was created in 1903 and was eliminated by redistribution in 1989, when its territory was combined with that from the neighbouring Virden riding to create the new riding of Arthur-Virden.
The riding was located in the province's southwestern tip, and was primarily agrarian. From 1953 until its abolition, it was a safe seat for the Progressive Conservative Party.

gollark: ... why would they do it *that* way? Does it not even say something like "would you like to allow this device access to your account: yes/no"?
gollark: I think they have *some* vague idea of economics and history, or have advisors who do, but don't care and do the good-sounding-if-you-don't-think-about-it-much thing.
gollark: I mean, if not technically FTL, they're a thing people think of when they think "FTL travel".
gollark: "Not FTL" how? I mean, they get you from A to B faster than you could with sublight travel.
gollark: Huh? It has FTL. Which is apparently... possible...
