Great article showing how first-past-the-post deepens regional divisions and puts our national unity at risk, especially during a time of crisis.
Fixing this starts with proportional representation that gives Prairie Liberals and urban Conservatives a real voice.

Someone like Donald #Trump is the inevitable outcome of the US's winner-take-all electoral system. #Canada also has a winner-take-all electoral system. Now is the time to change it.

1/ The Ontario election is well underway, but instead of uniting against Doug Ford, opposition parties are sniping at each other—even on issues they agree on.
Why? Because first-past-the-post forces them into a fight for survival.🧵

🚨New Post🚨
The United States has shown what happens when an outdated electoral system fuels division, disenfranchisement, and instability.
Canada still has a choice—will we learn from our neighbour’s mistakes, or will we continue down the same path?

Did the @ndp.ca miss an opportunity by not making electoral reform a bottom line in their CASA with Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party?

The collapse of US democracy is a direct consequence of their winner-take-all electoral system, where perverse incentives reward division, hatred and lies.

For the record, I covered the Electoral Reform committee hearings in one of my first journalism jobs and the experts were overwhelmingly in favour of mixed member proportional representation.
Trudeau made it clear just now that his regret is that our system wasn't changed to a *ranked ballot.*
