The majority of experts who testified at the ERRE committee gave evidence that proportional representation was the best option for meeting the committee's goals. No one disputed this. That was the consensus. Further, prior to the committee meetings, the members had meetings with Canadians across the country. Most Canadians that the committee members met with cited PR as their preference for electoral reform.
The Liberal members of the committee, however, ignored the evidence and, in the end, chose to inexplicably advocate for Alternative Vote (which, besides a different ballot, is basically the same as FPTP, in that it is a single member riding winner-take-all system --> winner take all is the problem). This led to Maryam Monsef's idiotic ridicule of the Gallagher Index. Ignoring evidence and ridiculing science is often seen with right wing parties. Under no circumstances should either the GPC or the NDP partake in such nonsense.

@ZackPolanski #Burnham has stated he believes in #proportionalrepresentation (PR). If PR were implemented in time for the next #GeneralElection, #ReformUK wouldn't be able to get a #majority in the #Commons on the basis of a #minority of the #votes.

On Sunday September 14, there will be a non-partisan rally planned by local organizers at Waterloo Town Square (Uptown Waterloo) to show support for Proportional Representation. The rally theme is Better Late Than Never.
The rally begins at 1:30 with time to gather, and make posters to show support for PR.
Speeches at 2:00 PM will be from:
- Aislinn Clancy (MPP for Kitchener-Centre and Deputy Leader of the Green Party of Ontario)
- Mike Morrice (former MP for Kitchener-Centre)
- Mike Schreiner (MPP for Guelph and leader of the Green Party of Ontario)
- Fair Vote Canada
and others.
Now is the time to speak up! Although Justin Trudeau broke his often-repeated promise to Canadians that the 2015 election would be the last under the first-past-the-post system, there is still strong support for the idea – even among those in power. After stepping down as Liberal leader, Trudeau shared that his one regret leading up to the 2025 election was not being able to change the way we elect our governments in this country 1 . Mark Carney has also spoken positively about electoral reform and has shared openness to addressing “those more structural issues in our democracy” 2 .
We are rallying to show that Canadians from across the political spectrum have not forgotten this broken promise, and that now is the time to act. More than ever, we need a strong democracy, with elected officials who reflect the will of the people, and where every citizen’s vote counts equally. We hope that you will join us!
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out, anytime.
Thank you,
