Modeling shows the sovereignist PQ could win a Quebec majority with just 31% of the vote. Think about that: almost 70% of voters could support a different party, yet one gets 100% of the power. Demand proportional representation across the country today.

Minister Sarkaria claims that the feds listened to “a small, fringe group in Toronto” (with 87,000 responses to a public consultation?) and that he has heard from "communities in the north, hospital CEOs, [and] mayors in eastern Ontario". How are the needs of these people not already met by YTZ?

"Sham survey." Yes, that's exactly the way to categorize a federal 'consultation' with leading questions and the complete absence of a business case or concrete proposal. Yup, a sham. #nojetsTO #BillyBishop

This is an excellent piece, in spite of its title (when the Conservatives were in power, they didn't make any attempt to amend our voting system, either). The more important point is that #FPTP grossly skews seat distribution so that it rarely represents actual voting patterns across the country.
