I had to shut down a volunteer recently, who is a staunch Greens voter, but had a massive crush on corporate capitalist colonial Carney.

I don't care who you are. I'll shut you down if you attempt to pedestal ANY capitalist, colonial, corporate fueled politician - in ANY public office power roles.

I'm pretty consistent on this.

Virginia becomes the 19th state to enact National Popular Vote for President.

The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact has now been enacted by 19 jurisdictions possessing 222 of the 270 electoral votes needed to activate it.

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Hooray! Now let’s get #ProportionalRepresentation in Canada. It’s so telling that the first thing Orban did with his original super majority was to functionally undo PR in Hungary and gerrymander districts. Populists fear true democracy. Today an especially unpleasant one has been kicked to the curb. Now let’s see if the new guys will undo the damage to Hungary’s electoral system.

The Optics Ain't Good

In 2015, the Canadian government embarked on a mission to change our 19th electoral structure.

Too much opposition!

Petition: Set up a National Commission on Electoral Reform to review the electoral system

I ask the Government to set up a National Commission on #ElectoralReform, as advocated by the All Party Parliamentary Group for Fair Elections. It should be an independent, time limited, expert led review to build consensus for changing the electoral system for the Westminster Parliament.

Squashing Electoral Reform

In 2015, the Canadian government set up a commission to reform Canada's electoral system. This commission became a political football and had to be disbanded.

Making such changes will be difficult.

If we are going to make such an electoral change, we might as well shoot for a big change, not a trifling change. Right?
