First-past-the-post forces Canada's right into one big tent, triggering non-stop infighting. Under proportional representation, distinct right-wing voices could run independently, win seats, and cooperate instead of battling over a single party steering wheel. www.hilltimes.com/2026/08/03/c...

Let’s improve representation for all Canadians 🇨🇦 by using proportional representation to elect our representatives. #cdnpoli #abpoli

Glad to see Andrew Coyne raising this in The Globe and Mail! Under first-past-the-post, a vote for one party can carry double or triple the power of a vote for another. Proportional representation is how we finally deliver true voter equality. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Opinion: One person, one vote is basic democratic principle. We should try it some time

Alberta today. Let’s dump the UCP.

Gerrymandering lets politicians choose their voters instead of the other way around. Until we end that, it will remain difficult to achieve the things most Americans already agree on.

Polling reveals unity across every single political party for proportional representation. When overwhelming majorities in all camps agree that seat share must match vote share, the mandate is clear. Replacing first-past-the-post requires listening to this decisive majority.

It's past time the parties work together on this important issue. To make our political system truly democratic, we need proportional representation.

This is how to help save life on our planet. Australia now has 40% of housing with solar panels & are supplying 50% of their power usage for free & by next year they estimate all domestic electricity usage will be free. C'mon America you can do it. Stop using life destroying, dirty fossil fuels.

Smith’s Alberta government leans authoritarian while calling everyone else “socialist” — it’s the McCarthy playbook. Point the finger before anyone can point it at you.

Let’s have 16 year olds vote in Canadian elections. Vote while they are in high school and they become lifetime voters.

Great to see members of the @ontarioliberal.bsky.social, @ontariondp.bsky.social, and @ontariogreens.bsky.social finding common ground at the Fight Ford rally in Hamilton. First-past-the-post exaggerates differences, but proportional representation brings us together for real results.

Alberta hasn't banned US alcohol imports. People here aren't buying it anyways. The debate over whether provincial governments should be banning it misses the actual point, which is that Canadians don't want to buy it in the first place. #cdnpoli
