A must-read column from Andrew Coyne 🇺🇦🇮🇱🇬🇪🇲🇩. Canada's winner-take-all system lets parties with 43% of the vote impose their will on the 57% who disagree, creating chaos and divisions. It's time for proportional representation.

It's no coincidence the last time an NDP leader said this during a leaders debate was the last time they became offical opposition. It's clear what people want is bold and ambitious policy, that means proportional representation.

Doug Ford has one of the worst negotiating records that I've seen in a Premier. Just look at his Ontario Place deal: Why is every household in the province paying $400 each to subsidize a luxury spa in downtown Toronto?

Max Fawcett 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 I really wish that a bit more attention was paid to the polling about the 51st state garbage. NDPers being most patriotic in wanting to stay Canadian 1/4 of Poilievre followers being ready to sell us out and almost half of the PPC voters Poilievre is courting are happy to be US.

A huge thank you to Chris Glover for accepting our petition on behalf of Ontario NDP! 9,500+ Ontarians have signed, demanding fair elections. Now, we need all parties to commit to proportional representation. No more false majorities—every vote should count!

A majority of voters—at least 60%—did not support this government, and the number is even higher when you count those who didn’t vote. How much longer will we accept an electoral system that silences most voters and shields politicians from accountability?

If any Ontario leaders are wondering what to raise in the leader's debate, take some inspiration from Jack Layton. He knew our electoral system was broken—and that Canada needs proportional representation Marit Stiles Mike Schreiner Bonnie Crombie 🇨🇦 Doug Ford

📢 The Ontario NDP has once again committed to proportional representation in their platform! They promise to replace first-past-the-post with a mixed-member proportional system where every vote counts. Let’s make sure electoral reform stays on the agenda!

The case for proportional representation is undeniable. CTV News reports on how our democracy distorting voting system fuels regional divisions, and how proportional representation can fix it. Mark Carney, will you champion a system where every vote truly counts? #cdnpoli

Also, you can vote for the local candidate you like best regardless of party, without hurting your party, since it's the party (regional) ballot that determines the party make-up of the House, with MMP. About 32% of voters split their ballots this way in New Zealand.
