If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

If your riding is labeled safe, your vote gets ignored. That is true for many rural communities today.
Proportional representation forces parties to compete for support in every region because no vote is wasted.

Paid leave did not happen by accident.
Countries with proportional representation are more likely to pass worker friendly policies because governments must earn broad support, not just win a few swing ridings.

This shows the true drawback of first past the post and one of the many strengths of proportional representation.
Geography should not decide whose vote matters.
First-past-the-post rewards concentration, not support.
Proportional representation means political diversity is represented everywhere, including cities and regions written off as safe.

Ontario didn’t lose an Eglinton subway because plans were bad.
It lost it because first-past-the-post lets parties with minority support win total power and reverse major projects overnight.
Proportional representation makes long term planning possible.

When a party can govern alone without majority support, closing ranks becomes easier than opening doors.

This is the core issue: our system can hand full power to a party that most voters didn’t choose.
That makes politics feel like damage control instead of representation.

Canadians are clear about the kind of partners they trust internationally. Countries that use proportional representation deliver stability, cooperation, and accountability.
If we value those qualities abroad, we should expect them at home too.

Ontario and Germany voted in the same month and season.
The biggest difference was not weather or timing. It was the voting system and whether people believed their vote would matter.

Once upon a time, 37% was enough to win everything. So the promise of proportional representation was tossed aside.
Then the same system delivered the opposite result: zero seats and a resignation. The lesson is simple. Stop gambling. Choose proportional representation.
