Please read my statement on the horrific situation in Lebanon. My NDP colleagues and I call on the government to do everything possible to evacuate Canadians from Lebanon.

We don’t want warmongers as our leaders anymore. We need peacemakers.

It’s a great interview! But during the interview, Trudeau makes bad arguments when he criticizes PR (which Nate Erskine-Smith does call him out on) by saying that PR hurts local representation (it doesn’t — the main PR systems being suggested for Canada maintain the presence of ridings &

This is stupidity - because you can do both? And it'd be viable to do so, if not smart?? Heat pumps are simply more efficient, and EVs are beneficial for a spectrum of reasons. Why in any 'common sense' plan would you act like these are irreconcilable choices. #bcpoli

Extending a huge THANK YOU to the Ontario NDP Green Party of Ontario OntarioLiberalParty for their expressions of support of Ontario #Farmland and farmers yesterday at the IPM and Rural Expo #IPM2024 IPM 2024 No Farms. No Food. No Future.

BC Green leader calls for electoral reform, accuses NDP of using majority to 'run roughshod' over democracy westernstandard.news/news/bc-green-…

Trudeau says PR decouples MPs from local representation, but that's not true for systems proposed in Canada like MMP & STV. Both maintain local representation, and MMP lists can be open for direct voter choice. Electoral reform talk starts at the 30-minute mark.

New Brunswick needs proportional representation.

My honest appraisal of this episode is it’s surprisingly refreshing to see someone be candid about their mistakes and own up to it (electoral reform/TO-St Paul’s). NES pushed back when he needed to and didn’t let JT deflect easily. All in all pretty decent.

I don’t think the Liberals will prorogue. But if they do, I can’t wait to see partisans try to explain how it’s okay for them to do so in 2024 but it wasn’t for Harper in 2008.

The Bloc motion on increasing OAS payment has passed, 181 to 143. CPC, NDP, Bloc and Green MPs voted in favour, along with five Liberal MPs, Rene Arseneault, Serge Cormier Wayne Long, Ken Macdonald and Mike Kelloway. The rest of the Liberal caucus voted no #cdnpoli

An election in Ireland (which uses STV) soon? 👀

Don’t let people tell you that candidate-centered Proportional Representation systems don’t exist

Or even local PR for that matter. RUP, STV, and even some Open List systems all have some relatively local regional consistencies as well.
