7. I'll try

Anyone can vote - even if they aren't registered, so no one technically gets thrown off the rolls. If you are a citizen 18 years and older and have your id, you can vote.

No blatant gerrymandering - I do believe the law says only non partisan independent panels can decide where the borders of each riding are drawn. Here is what wikipedia says:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_district_(Canada)#Boundary_review.

And felons can vote. Even in prison.

HTH!
