I want electoral reform as much as anyone but I don't want someone who knowingly supported those who had intent of burning down parliament, ceding land to america and Russia, executing members of gov for 'treason', and overthrowing said gov.

It's almost like there's some example somewhere of something similar happening.

That said, if we did get rid of fptp we'd never have to worry about a conservative gov ever again. Ever.

Still, it's like comparing apples to magas.

pp is soft, but he's hard for maga.

Then after the election, you better be fighting your hardest to get proportional representation 😁.

Get started with this link: Simple things you can do right now, to grow the proportional representation movement—so we never have to vote for the lesser of the evils, have a two party system, "split the vote", or strategic vote.

I am already a subscriber.

Though your enthusiasm and effort to spread awareness and method are appreciated.

Thanks! I truly believe proportional representation is critical for Canadian democracy. I voluntarily do this advocacy!
