I think reforms could help with some things and certainly increasing the amount of representatives would reduce corruption by increasing the amount of people to be bribed. I don't feel that popular voting will ever work though because it lends to corruption too easily

While Canada may not be as cooked as the US is, I can't help the feeling that they have bought into Neo liberalism completely. This is pretty much incompatible with democracy in my opinion.

...neo-liberalism goes away when ridings get smaller. People focus on solving local issues. Currently with such big ridings, anything local and of importance doesn't even get mentioned or solved politically.

It would be interesting to see if this reform would pay off as much as you think it would. I am in full support.
