Historical Assiniboia riding?

Was the historical Assiniboia East riding really in modern Sask? Currently Assiniboia (provincial electoral district) is in Manitoba....

For postal and administrative purposes, the NWT was divided into districts of the North-West Territories. In the 1880s and 1890s, two of these districts (Alberta and Saskatchewan) were represented by one MP each, but the more populous District of Assiniboia had two MPs. The District of Assiniboia was divided into Assiniboia East and Assiniboia West for federal electoral purposes. See Saskatchewan Archives Board and List of NWT MPs (PDF). Most of Assiniboia became part of Saskatchewan in 1905; the very westernmost section became part of Alberta. Indefatigable 20:26, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

"[W]as a Canadian surveyor, road builder, Indian commissioner and politician..."

Quite inaccurate and can't this be fixed? He wasn't Canadian but a Brit living and working in NWT and then BC and Vancouver Island which he got merged with BC. South Asians with hisotrical interest and indeed mixed ethnic background complain at historical misjustices commented by Brits while it was still "British India." His record in Canada demonstrates that that was widespread. Masalai (talk) 14:43, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
