In 1996, the party with fewer votes formed government.
In 2001, 58% of the vote produced 98% of the seats.
British Columbia has lived with first-past-the-post distortion for decades.
Proportional representation means seats match votes. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Huge moment in this interview with @frankdomenic.bsky.social.
NDP leadership candidate @avilewis.ca puts proportional representation on the national stage and makes it the non negotiable democratic reform we need.
When leadership contenders acknowledge the core issue, the national debate shifts.

Why can't the Premier just focus on the basic business of provincial government like reducing wait times at hospitals and ensuring schools aren't falling apart. Why is everything with him another damn scheme?
This weekend I wrote about Doug Ford’s plan to sell off a large chunk of Wasaga Beach Provincial Park. Exactly the opposite of what should be happening: parkland expansion.
Shawn Micallef: Doug Ford’s plan to sell off chunks of this popular beach threatens something we should hold dear
If Doug Ford wanted to create a real legacy, he’d start an aggressive expansion of public parkland in Ontario to keep up with its massive population.

If Democrats truly want to appeal to young men, they should probably start presenting themselves as the party that definitively *won’t* draft you into an illegal war.

Not only did Canada Post illegally lay off striking workers, it also cut off the medical benefits for people like Marc Caron, who has cancer and now has to pay thousands of dollars for medication.
This is despicable.

Saving the CBC is really about saving Canada
Pierre Poilievre reportedly has plans to slash the CBC's budget. That would be a disaster for national unity.
