The case for proportional representation is undeniable.
CTV reports on how our democracy distorting voting system fuels regional divisions, and how proportional representation can fix it.
@mark-carney.bsky.social, will you champion a system where every vote truly counts?

Polievres desire to use fear to override our Charter of Rights & Freedoms is an extreme over reach of political power. The "Not Withstanding" clause was never intended to give politicians an easy way to circumvent proper process and would set a dangerous precedent!

THIS IS THE PRIME MINISTER. A man with a plan and the ability to explain that plan to Canadians in language they understand, without spin and slogans! #cdnpoli
Get ready to see Pierre Poilievre doing absolutely everything he can to destroy Mark Carney. He’s devastated and desperate after losing a historic lead in the polls in record time. He’ll lie constantly. He’ll be utterly hypocritical. His problem is that it will just remind everyone how toxic he is.
Elbows up, Canada.
If the media is going to ask stupid questions they should expect such responses. Maybe they should ask the opposition leader about his security clearance.
We need this here!! What's happening in the US only reinforces the danger of the first-past-the-post system!

Unlike in Ontario where only 45% of eligible voters actually cast a ballot, 82.5% of Germans voted. I think this is because Germans know, regardless of who they vote for, they will have representation.
Aside from the primary benefits of the popular vote being proportionally aligned with the seats of power in government. The biggest win in my opinion is voter engagement.
I recently read a comparison of the results of our Ontario election with the recent election in Germany. Germany (like most of Europe) utilizes a proportional representation electoral system.
43% of the vote gave Doug Ford's PCs 64.5% of the seats and 100% of the power.
It's time for proportional representation!

I keep thinking of the animated movie "Bugs Life" when all the ants finally realize they out number the grasshoppers. There is power in numbers!! It’s the essence of democracy!
PLEASE VOTE!!

The anticipated low voter turnout is very sad to hear. It's expected to be worse than 2022 when only 18% of eligible voters gave Doug Ford a strong majority. He knows this, it's why he called a February snap election.
Prove him wrong!
Make your voice heard!

Ontario, if you want Doug Ford to be defeated, vote strategically.
That’s it. That’s the post.
Actually, there’s one more thing. If you want Doug Ford to be defeated, YOU HAVE TO VOTE.

🇨🇦🇨🇦 Please make sure to cast your vote on or before February 27th. Voting is a right all Canadian citizens share and we should never take it for granted. 🇨🇦🇨🇦
If you're like me and haven't received your voter card in the mail yet, don't worry. You don't need it to vote. Just bring your ID, such as your driver's license which lists your name and address. That's all you need to vote.
Londoners- canvassing today I’ve heard many times that people don’t have voter cards & thought they couldn’t vote. Please let family, friends, neighbours know you do NOT need a voter card to vote. Find your poll at Elections Ontario & bring your ID on Feb. 27. #ldnont #onpoli #onelxn2025
The longer term plan is buying US made nuclear reactors which require enriched uranium that is only available from New Mexico. There are better & cleaner options which would strengthen our energy independence, but that's not part of Doug's plan!
#FordMustGo
Doug Ford's short term electricity plan is buying GE made gas fired turbines. I was surprised to learn most of Ontario's gas used to fire these turbines is imported from Pennsylvania & Ohio.

One of the hardest things to watch, as the United States circles the drain with the real potential of taking the world with it, is the unrelenting debate about whether the Democrats were too woke, or not woke enough?
I would’ve voted for a literal potted plant to help keep Trump from power.
Nice metaphor.
“The once inevitable ascension of Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is now in doubt, since former central banker Mark Carney looks like he might be better suited to managing Trump.”
“Ironically, Trump may have done Canadians a favor by pushing them to do things they ought to have done long ago.”
