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?

Absolutely correct!
🚨 Ontario’s election is here—our voting system’s broken.

Thanks @ontariogreens.bsky.social leader @mikeschreiner.bsky.social for backing proportional representation on @tvotoday.bsky.social w/ @spaikin.bsky.social.

Ontarians deserve a democracy where every vote counts. Time for all parties to act!

Want a reason to vote? How about voting for a candidate who supports proportional representation?

No more false majorities—no more worrying about wasted votes or strategic voting.

Countries with PR have much higher voter turnout than we do. We can be like them too.

True story! 👀 It's appalling that exposing the simple truth of Poilievre’s record—which includes voting against funding childcare, taxing the rich and free prescription drugs—is banned on public transit.

The kicker? On the very same trains, oil and gas companies are running greenwashing ads.
Why did @gotransit.bsky.social refuse to run this ad? #canada #onpoli #gta #toronto
Did you see our ads on the Vancouver SkyTrain and Canada Line?

With the CPC leading in the polls, we need to expose what Poilievre’s Canada would really look like: public services gutted, undoing of climate progress, scapegoating of migrants and queer communities, his rich friends getting richer.
