Lansdowne (electoral district)
Lansdowne is a former provincial electoral division in Manitoba, Canada. It was created for the 1888 provincial election, and eliminated with the 1958 election.
Lansdowne was a rural constituency in the province's southwestern corner. For almost its entire history, it was considered safe for the Liberal Party and its successor, the Liberal-Progressive Party. Only two non-Liberals were ever elected for the division, and both were defeated after a single term. Tobias Norris, who served as Premier of Manitoba from 1915 to 1922, represented Lansdowne in the provincial legislature for twenty-one years.
After its elimination, parts of Lansdowne were included in the new constituency of Souris-Lansdowne.

gollark: I would just dump the program's data structures directly into a framebuffer.
gollark: Yes, like the lack of pattern matching.
gollark: it could look like `bees::whatever()` or you could import it as `beeoid` if you wanted and get `beeoid::whatever()`.
gollark: That isn't required by an import system which works.
gollark: I agree, `bees_whatever()` is extremely elegant.
