My #Burnaby #LiberalMP (whom my wife and I voted in to prevent #PierrePoilievre being elected PM) hasn’t replied to any of my past emails, which are all highly critical of his government’s backtracking on climate and species at risk protections as well as privacy concerns.

Instead, #WadeChang bombards us with glossy propagandist brochures of himself posing with local groups, all virtue signalling to cover over up his turncoat Liberal’s traitorous right wing lurch.

One such picture is with our local wildlife rescue group. Imagine taking a smiling group photo with those rehabilitating the species at risk harmed by your own unethical, deregulated dirty oil projects?! These #CarneyLiberals assume we are all gullable idiots.

I rip up his flashy brochures and recycle them, as they are just another waste of money and resources selling us yet another Liberal lie.

Wade Chang will lose his next election to #Conservatives in large part due to Mark Carney’s selloff of our “left wing #antifa climate terrorist” interests. I will never be voting strategically again, at this point it is #electoralreform or bust for me.

These short sighted, virtue signalling #Liberals will lose their majority and countless future elections by jettisoning their strategic leftwing supporters.

I now believe #Canada deserves it’s true Right Wing Conservative government, enough of this neo-con Mark Carney masquerading as a Liberal.

All you Climate Destroying Liberal supporters deserve #PierrePoilievre as PM. If I could only take back my worthless “elbows up liberal” vote...

I love this idea of natural comparisons between #ProportionalRepresentation and non-PR countries around the world, noting that it's almost like having a scientific control group:

* Ireland (proportional representation) vs UK (majoritarian)
* Germany (PR) vs France (majoritarian)
* New Zealand (PR) vs Australia (majoritarian, despite using Instant Runoff Voting)

FPTP: a proud tradition of turning millions of votes into discarded marbles under the couch.

Time for a change. To a system where every single ballot cast actually matters.

Virginia becomes the 19th state to enact National Popular Vote for President.

The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact has now been enacted by 19 jurisdictions possessing 222 of the 270 electoral votes needed to activate it.

If the Liberals need the NDP to form a minority government, NDP demands should include:
- at least 1 cabinet post. Give them a seat in the inner circle.
- make #ElectoralReform a legislative priority (idea from @ZebKing).
- insist on support for 2 or 3 NDP platform ideas and guarantee that the NDP gets credit for those ideas.

This is also an opportunity for Carney to demonstrate he governs for all Canadians.

Big news: Maine joins the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact! The inter-state agreement now includes states with 209 electoral votes, and will come into effect when enough states join that include 270 votes. Making progress!

"Maine votes to join multi-state agreement to elect the president by popular vote"

It's not passed into law yet, but seems likely at this point.

This map shows a credible path to achieving 270 votes before the 2028 election. If you're in one of the blue states on this map, please write to your state legislators and governor!

Fun fact about the '3 landslide victories' that Margaret Thatcher got - in all 3, the Tories never even got a majority of votes:

•1979: 43.9% of votes but 53.4% of seats
•1983: 42.4% of votes but 61.1% of seats
•1987: 42.2% of votes but 58% of seats

We can't change the past but can change the future. The UK needs PR voting now!
