Hey, people of the c/a/n/a/d/a project!

Join, fund and promote http://fairvote.ca because these 2 images suck. 2021 becomes 2025.

End #firstpastthepost #ftpt now!

No more studies or assemblies or royal commissions or stalls.

Pick a #proportionalrepresentation system and let's fucking go!

(If you've seen the Star Trek TNG "Enterprise C" episode, you'll really get this.)
