  • Wow that is significant!

    Moreover, the Prime Minister's choice to prorogue Parliament rather than dissolve Parliament and call an election is not justiciable

    At the end of the day, the judicial system is supposed to resolve questions of law (i.e., justiciable). That's exactly what happened here, and the judicial system is not being "judicial activists" as some may like to claim.

    • What’s more chilling than Trump’s presidency? The fact that we use the same system that just handed him total control... If we want to protect democracy in Canada, we need proportional representation.

  • We didn’t want to give up local representation in Australia

    Did you know there's actually a way to maintain full local representation, while still meeting the criteria of proportional representation?

    It's called single transferable vote (STV).

  • Good idea but also a gross oversimplification.

    In a microblogging platform, there's only so much content you can write. And even Lemmy's post titles are limited to 200 characters.

    You can’t compare a parliamentary democracy with a presidential republic whatever the voting system.

    Of course the systems are different, however, the core of both Canada’s and the US’s electoral system is winner-take-all (e.g, FPTP).

    Read more about how Canada is trending towards a two party system.

  • Liberty and democracy are one and the same. If Canadian democracy goes down (of which we are witnessing now), at the very least we should put up a fight.

  • What did Padme say?

    • The answer to what's happening in the US is not less democracy, it's more democracy. We've been asking for electoral reform for so many years Trudeau let us down this election we need to collaborate🟢

  • That's true, but it's also a bit traitorous given the current situation.

  • Let's not give a platform to those (or corporations) that are undeserving of it. That's all.

    Then again, you could say that about the whole buy Canadian movement.
