There is a group called Fair Vote Canada, pushing for a version of ProRep. They want to be able to list your choices, so if your first choice doesn't win, your vote then goes to the next person on your list. They also want super ridings, which is a group of existing ridings to be able to assign seats to parties based on their total share of the vote. I haven't figured out how this is supposed to help independents,or exactly how votes are counted, but somehow this is supposed to make everyone inclusive?
BC has voted 2 or 3 times against a ProRep version called STV(single transferable vote) that also gives seats to parties, and somehow your representative would not necessarily live in your riding, or even close to it.
Somehow, it seems like none of these groups understand the basics of our electoral system, where we vote for the person, not the party, or party leader. To a large extent, the parties themselves don't seem to understand this fact either, based on their advertising.

So why not just join the newest party in Canadian Politics?


I'm sure you'd fit right in!

This is interesting in a “Let’s protest the guy & party that hasn’t been in power the last decade….because electoral reform that the Liberals promised & didn’t deliver upon three consecutive elections?”
So…on that note, here’s the candidates list for Nepean (so Carleton adjacent):

Nepean & Carleton are literally side by side in the same city (?) so what…the bus schedules didn’t link up or something?
Then, in the electoral riding of Carleton, I'm just going to post a link ‘cuz there’s 91 candidates…seriously…as a protest against Justin Trudeau’s failed promises towards election reform the Liberals last three consecutive Liberal terms…the irony is as thick as the hypocrisy.
Tomas Szuchewycz, an organizer with the committee who acts as the protest candidates' official agent said the group had also intended to sign up dozens of candidates in Liberal Leader Mark Carney's neighbouring Nepean riding. But he said the group didn't have enough time to organize because Carney only announced where he'd be seeking a seat the weekend he triggered an election.😉
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is one of 91 candidates registered in the suburban Ottawa riding of Carleton.

Eighty-five of the candidates registered to run in Carleton are associated with the electoral reform group ‘The Longest Ballot Committee’ and all have the same official agent – Tomas Szuchewycz.

A normal person would think these clowns would run against Carnage, not the only politician that is trying to fix the damage 10 long years of wokism has done to us. The bright side is that the leftard vote will be so split that Poilievere will easily win.

This is what a ballot looks like in Carleton. In Nepean, it’s got 5 names on it. These ridings are literally physically side by side.
The bright side is that the leftard vote will be so split that Poilievere will easily win.

Do you throw out more of Skippy P's lingo too, or just sort of "Lost Liberal Decade" bullshit?
