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.

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.

[email protected]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.

@thetyee “You probably shouldn’t blame Idlout for wanting to leave the NDP. It’s tempting to join a real party, sort of like Pinocchio wanting to be a real boy.”
What an offensive joke of an opinion piece. “Dr. Steve” should take his useless opinions and shove them.
This is not funny, it’s infuriating. #TheTyee is slipping into an abyss publishing this partisan shite.

To all those #NDP supporters being chided on #cdnpoli for being angry one of our own crossed over to Carney’s neo-con Liberals; you’re allowed and even justified to feel frustrated right now.
Carney’s Liberals and Poilievre’s Conservatives want nothing more but for the NDP to disappear so they can maintain their comfortable 2 party system, reliant on begging for strategic votes from the left to win power.
Every opportunity they get to see the NDP flounder, they will rejoice in.
Stay true to the party next election, avoid #cdnpoli ‘til all this gloating and smugness subsides, and NEVER vote strategically again (no matter how much they beg you).
At this point #Canada deserves whatever it gets under FPTP voting. Frustrating to feel this way, but seeing today’s prevalent smug attitude directed at disillusioned NDP voters angers me as much as all these turncoat politicians shuffling across to give Mark Carney his manufactured majority.

In supporting #DanielleSmith’s demands to force yet another bitumen pipeline on British Columbia, oil drunk #Liberals are done in #BC.
Voting strategically for #MarkCarney despite my continued rage over the environmental destruction #TMX has wreaked on #Burnaby and #BC was the dumbest leap of faith I’ve ever taken at the polls. Conservative kiss-ass Carney can kiss his strategic voters in BC goodbye.
This is no “nation building” project, it is a capitulation to Big Oil pressure under the guise of nationalism, and the start of yet another federal war on British Columbia and all those protecting it.
This dirty, useless, expensive project won’t get done without shady #American or #Saudi investors, #Palantir drones patrolling the skies of Northern BC, and the inevitable sacrifice and destruction of our beautiful coastline for Alberta’s greedy, dirty oil economy.
This project will be Mark Carney’s albatross to bear, hope it was worth it for these pitiful Liberal Traitors.

Cascadia Daily News "Citizens Agenda results: Housing, Bellingham waterfront, ranked-choice voting top concerns"
This is a big deal!
#RankedChoiceVoting & #ProportionalRepresentation are in the top 5 issues that local voters care about. Voters are fed up with dysfunctional government, and they know #ElectoralReform is the way to fix our democracy. Now will our local elected officials pay attention to what voters are desperately asking for?

Elected Liberals: Fuck off NDP voters! Everyone knew Mark Carney was a progressive Conservative, no take backs!

Ignore false claims #ProportionalRepresentation (a term used to refer to systems that have nothing in common other than fitting a very specific mathematical formula) will solve problems.

@philippe_schannes @voltdeutschland Dear Philippe Schannes, #TaktischWählen, I wanted to know, as a Dutchman, how the #Erststimme #Zweistimme system works, and how the #Wahlhürde works for both first and second vote?

End the Chaos of First Past the Post
No party has won a majority of the #vote in almost a century, yet due to the voting system we have near-constant single party #governments setting the rules for everyone.
Our #parliaments never represent the views of the public

And the trouble is that Brexit is a symptom and the new Labour government isn't going to change anything. Nothing will fundamentally change in the 'd'K untill the voting system is changed to PR, the house of Lords is abolished and a constitution is set up. By that time little England will be fully independent.
