Ontario PR supporters: here is a concrete action.

If you support proportional representation and are eligible to join the Ontario Liberal Party, join through the official OLP page:

https://action.ontarioliberal.ca/f/join

Then contact EVERY leadership candidate. Tell them you joined and that support for PR and cross-party cooperation will influence your leadership vote.

Candidate positions are still evolving. That makes now the time to push.

A quiet supporter is easy to overlook. An organized bloc of new members writing every campaign is not.

It's delightful to listen to Brad Lander talk about anything, but especially about democracy, and extra especially his thoughtful positive comments about #ProportionalRepresentation

As the article suggests, the introduction of proportional representation would be a major step towards the long term thriving of a progressive bloc, as opposed to the short term rule of the Labour party.

'Steal'? Maybe the Daily Fail could describe winning an election as stealing, but the New Statesman?

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)

"In the wake of recent redistricting battles, #ProportionalRepresentation is having a moment. Ezra Klein devoted an entire episode to [it]. A flock of Substackers and influencers chimed in. Even Kamala Harris and Pete Buttigieg came out as PR curious."

Hey Ontarians, and all Canadians, do you want a government that works for you instead of just working to be in power after the next election? Join the thousands supporting proportional representation at both provincial and national levels.

A new poll by EKOS research, commissioned by Fair Vote Canada, shows 71% of Ontarians support proportional representation.

This includes 71% of 2025 Ontario Liberal voters, 86% of Ontario NDP voters, 82% of Ontario Green voters and 63% of Progressive Conservative voters.

Our voting system only breeds instability & chaos, & poisons our political culture. We know you agree.
