I’ve been yelling this for at least a decade
If you're a Alberta Liberal with a CPC MP, Toronto Conservative with a Liberal MP, or Quebec Federalist with a BQ MP, do you feel represented? Our single-winner system flattens diversity and deepens division. Proportional representation means you get the voice you vote for.

The George Massey crossing saga is a classic example of first-past-the-post policy lurch. Politicians winning majorities with 40% of the vote repeatedly scrap each other's plans as costs soar. Proportional representation builds consensus so infrastructure actually gets built.
JUST IN... Doerkson's BC Conservatives vow to revive the 10-lane George Massey Bridge concept, instead of the NDP's $8.5 billion, 8-lane immersed tunnel. Reminder: That bridge & extensive Highway 99 upgrades would've been ready in 2022. #bcpoli #vanpoli dailyhive.com/vancouver/bc-c…

Under first-past-the-post, Alberta looks like a one-party monolith hostile to Ottawa, ignoring over 600,000 Albertan Liberal voters. Proportional representation would end this divisive cycle, giving a voice to every voter, from Alberta Liberals to Toronto Conservatives.

Like fixed-election laws, this policy won't work. The fix is ending first-past-the-post so leaders aren't tempted to call elections whenever polls show 40% of the vote promises an increased majority. Proportional representation removes that incentive, fostering cooperation.

Technically, I think it's what's wrong with a lack of proportional representation, and could be mitigated with more democracy

Great to see @Emily_Lowan raise proportional representation twice during last night's debate! First-past-the-post locks us into hyper-polarized two party politics that traps voters into feeling they must vote out of fear instead of their values. Check out her answers here!

BC Greens leader Emily Lowan says her "top priority" is electoral reform so "we're not caught between lesser evils, where we're choosing between broken promises or service cuts."

I guess you always knew the vote splitting question was coming, but she handled it well. And she’s right about the pro rep referendum. The BCNDP sabotaged that referendum and Eby was key in it. I also like how she mentioned parties should earn your vote. Because they should.

Emily Lowan says if she and the Greens held the balance of power, she would aim to bring in proportional representation. #bcpoli

First-past-the-post lets provincial majorities treat municipalities like playthings without broad support. Proportional representation would check this power, forcing any government, left or right, urban or rural, to build broad consensus before meddling in local rule.
Ford must stop interfering with our city Make no mistake: Toronto will stand up for itself.

Great to see @BCGreens commit to proportional representation! Eby rejected an all-party committee’s citizens’ assembly recommendation then called a snap election for a bigger majority. Now polling shows that backfiring, leaving the race in the hands of a few swing ridings.

Canada needs Proportional Representation!
Great column from @acoyne on how first-past-the-post threatens unity. First-past-the-post turns provinces into one-party monoliths that can be in opposition to Ottawa for decades. Proportional representation breaks this cycle and gives everyone a voice. theglobeandmail.com/opinion/…
