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...

Conservative infighting could be trouble for Poilievre: ‘he just needs to demonstrate some wins,’ say party strategists - The Hill Times

A wave of Conservative infighting erupted after the Calgary Stampede, and the fall could be tough for Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, say some, but Conservative Dan Mader says Poilievre’s…

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

Polling shows overwhelming support across party lines for electoral reform in Ontario. Voters across the board want party leaders to work together on proportional representation. It's time to replace first-past-the-post with a fairer system.

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.

Regional division grows when winner take all elections distort voter intent. Upgrading to proportional representation requires politicians to work together and listen to every community across Alberta. See this compelling letter in the Western Wheel. www.westernwheel.ca/opinion/lett...

The Liberals blocked Ford's airport plan because they need Downtown Toronto seats. Under first-past-the-post, a future government that doesn't need those ridings could revive it. Proportional representation requires broad consensus, so no community is sidelined. www.torontotoday.ca/local/city-h...

When Justin Trudeau abandoned electoral reform, he claimed proportional representation breeds extremism. But data shows his preferred winner-take-all model is where extreme factions risk total control, while PR contains them. Read Harmeet Nanner's guest post: www.fairvote.ca/23/07/2026/h...

This is what total arrogance and zero accountability look like. When First-Past-The-Post grants 100% power based on a handful of swing ridings, ministers feel no need to answer tough questions. Proportional representation forces politicians to earn power. torontolife.com/city/ontario...

We must band together and get rid of this outrageous system that allows the minority to govern a majority. Proportional representation seems to be the answer. So let's give it a try.

Despite 3 opposition parties polling at 59%, @canadianpolling.bsky.social shows Doug Ford's PCs touching a majority at just 32%. First-past-the-post means Ontario could stay stuck with Ford despite voters rejecting him. It's time for proportional representation.

What some call "unused land" is often the last safe haven for countless living creatures. Wetlands are not empty spaces waiting to be developed. They are nurseries for birds, natural water filters, flood defenses, and wildlife habitats that cannot be replaced once lost.

Tired of federal leaders flying over the Prairies during elections to campaign in Toronto and Vancouver swing ridings? That is the reality of first-past-the-post. Proportional representation requires parties to campaign everywhere, making sure every single vote matters.

Join me in asking the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board to protect our pensions and the climate and stop investing in oil, gas, coal and pipelines. A legal case is already underway. It’s time to stop investing in fossil fuels and recommit to net-zero. win.newmode.net/shiftaction/...

Under first-past-the-post, the right is forced into one big-tent party, causing endless infighting. But splitting means fighting over the same seats while other parties win. Proportional representation lets multiple right-wing parties compete and negotiate cleanly. www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

As to local representation and making every vote count, the two systems recommended the most are STV, with ranked ballots in larger multi-member ridings, and Open List Regional MMP, with local and regional votes. Both ensure fair results and voter choice. www.fairvote.ca/introprsyste...

Proportional representation systems for Canada

Proportional representation is the principle that 30% of the vote should equal about 30% of the seats. How would proportional representation work in Canada?

Ontario Liberals are being cheated by a system that's left them third in seats twice in a row despite winning the second most votes. It is time the party takes electoral reform seriously. Great to see @ericlombardi.ca call for a binding citizens' assembly!

Why fly 40 mostly out-of-province MPs to the Stampede? Because first-past-the-post leaves hundreds of thousands of Liberal Albertans with only 3 seats. Proportional representation ensures they get the local, resident MPs they vote for to advocate for their interests.

In 2025, Jivani received 35,000 votes to Girard's 32,000. Yet, first-past-the-post means only Jivani speaks for Bowmanville-Oshawa North. Proportional representation means both Liberal and Conservative voters get a voice in the riding instead of one voice speaking on their behalf.

Under first-past-the-post, a party can break promises, pass unannounced unpopular laws, and still win a majority next time with 30-40% of the vote. Proportional representation ensures governments are built on broad consensus, keeping them accountable to the people.

When governments only need to win a handful of swing seats to get total power, public services suffer. Proportional representation requires parties to build broad, province-wide consensus. Politicians have to listen to frontline workers when every single vote carries weight.
