I don't think that Canadians are a bunch of sheep. But I am sick with our archaic voting system and it constantly baffles me that Canadians and Quebecers are so passive when it comes to the accepting the failure of our voting system to adequately represent the will of the population.
The fact alone that a party like the Bloc Québecois would get more seats then the NDP, a truly federal party, while the latter gets more popular vote should be enough to enrage Canadians whether they identify with the NDP or not.
This little strip adequately explains how I feel about this. Please check it out. After clicking on the link, click on the image to zoom in.

I don't think pure proportional representation should be the way to go, but proportional rep should at least be integrated some way or another.
