I understand the commendable instinct to give another chance, but this isn't about a one-time broken promise - it's about a century-long pattern. Liberals have promised proportional representation since 1919, starting with Mackenzie King.

The 2015 promise wasn't just casually broken - Trudeau literally admitted last year that Liberals were "deliberately vague" to appeal to electoral reform advocates while never intending to implement proportional representation.

Just last year, 107 Liberal MPs (68.6% of their caucus) voted against even creating a Citizens' Assembly to study electoral reform, despite 76% of Canadians supporting it.

This isn't about partisan politics - it's about our declining democracy. Canada's effective number of parties is down to 2.76, showing we're sliding toward an American-style two-party system under Duverger's Law.

In a democracy, citizens deserve representation. Every election under FPTP means millions of perfectly valid votes are discarded. How many more decades should we wait?

Remember when the Liberals also unveiled their plan to make the 2015 election be the last under FPTP?

Remember when the Liberals also promised the 2015 election would also be the last under FPTP?

If we had proportional representation, we could vote for parties that took serious action. Instead, we're still playing this same broken game.

Hmm, explain more?

Also see: We must keep advocating for proportional representation. If PR dies, so does Canadian democracy as we know it. FPTP is already pushing us toward a two-party system, just like the USA

The Ottawa Citizen is American owned media pretending to be Canadian, infiltrating Canadian culture and politics.

Carbon capture is BS. Think about it, we would need to put at least an equivalent amount of energy to capture carbon, than it took to generate it in the first place. That's if we had economically viable carbon capture technology in the first place, which doesn't exist.

Privatize the gains, socialize the losses.

No need to, people like you and others have already done so! As was the original hope of creating the infographic!

I'll take a step back from this. Proportional representation is the real end game.

In the spirit of ...reorientation away from the United States

My comments are exactly in line with the discussion, to move away from US media.

The post title is: "Time to double down on the metric system".

At the same time, I also think it's a good idea to:

double down on getting information only from Canadian Owned and Operated media

maybe I should be "respectful and firm"?

The National Post is American owned media pretending to be Canadian, infiltrating Canadian culture and politics.

Can we also double down on getting information only from Canadian Owned and Operated media?

Centimetres are more commonly used to measure height (e.g., on official government issued IDs)

Did you know the first Canada-US Free Trade agreement hinged on our election system? LPC/NDP opposed NAFTA, while PCs supported it. The FPTP election falsely rewarded the PCs, and NAFTA was enacted
