Well, it might work locally but if you institute a system like that nationally, regions like BC and Alberta will have even less of a voice in Confederation as the dense population cores of Ontario and Quebec will dominate the number of federal MPs even more than they do now. It might give the Caribou or Shuswap more say in Victoria but the shear weight of numbers in the populous "middle" east of the country will swamp you. Rep by Pop is an even worse idea than First-past-the -post in Canada.

It'll cut those sons-of-bitches on PEI down to two seats from four, though. That'll help the West ... somehow ... don't see how, though.
Yet we here in British Columbia are planning a referendum on this matter which will fundamentally change our legislature and all I see on Canadian Content is but Trump .

Actually a reformed voting system might have the opposite effect. The suggested voting systems often result in minority or coalition governments, making regional representation more important in order to obtain a majority. It certainly cannot be any more unfair than the current system which massively favours Ontario and Quebec.

Would that be the US installed Dictators by chance??

I seem to recall even being elected didn't remove the label if the US was 'at odds' with the nation. Hugo being a late example in what is a fairly long list.

The fact that you ain't listening don't mean they ain't saying anything.



You're kidding right? Don't hear no outrage to listen to; don't hear anyone from the Left shouting out and demonstrating the treatment of women in the Middle East (stoned to death or raped and then stoned to death) or Europe who are being raped by gangs. Please, PLEASE, tell me where you have "heard" anything coming from these so-called women's groups! They sure the hell yell when it's something here in Canada or the US (missing indigenous women) and rightly so I might add, but you sure don't hear anything from them regarding anything over seas!


So you're being disingenuous TB.
