This problem has been solved, but politicians - and their wealthy patrons - do not want it. After WWII, the Allies required Germans to change their electoral system to prevent another Hitler from gaining power. They moved to a type of #proportionalrepresentation.

That should have been the signal for every democracy to look at their own electoral system, but no. And the rich oppose democracy generally, because its...democratic. They don’t want their power lessened.

PM Carney needs not only to denounce this illegal war and all targeting of non-military targets but should also today, immediately suspend any negotiations happening with the US. Summon the US Ambassador to a hearing on all of it, and expel him from Canada if he doesn’t show.

Vance heads to Budapest to shore up Orban’s support before Sunday vote

I hope Canadian officials are taking note of how much the USA is interfering in elections in other countries.

With their control over global social media, they are a far greater danger than China will be, until their empire collapses.
