It's a one-party state," Ms. Phillips told me." And folks behave with impunity as a result. In the one-party state of Alberta, police will not be arrested for messing with an investigative journalist into government corruption. Investigative journalists would be protected with…

The Fair Representation Act would use #RankedChoiceVoting and multi-member districts to end gerrymandering once and for all. Learn how the #FairRepAct would make Congress work better for voters ⬇️ fairvoteaction.org/fair-represent…
Political will makes proportional representation difficult to achieve. Putting a system of proportional representation in place is easy. The political will to put the system in place is almost impossible. This is just putting political self-interest ahead of the public…
We don't support proportional representation because we think it's an easy reform to achieve. We support it because it's the right thing to do for our democracy. Because your vote should have an impact no matter where in this country you call home.
Support proportional representation so the over a million Ontarians who voted for you aren’t stuck with just 11% of the seats again. Every vote should count.
The best ideas won’t come from Queen’s Park. They’ll come from you. Rebuilding this party starts with the grassroots. And that’s exactly where we’re focused.
I support proportional representation because I believe that every Canadian should be equally and effectively represented in the House of Commons. Why do you support First-Past-the-Post?
Proportional Representation can help Nation building. We can have the same number of seats and the outcome of electoral votes can match elected representatives. No Constitutional changes required. epaper.calgaryherald.com/article/281694…
No, @FredDeLorey, Canada’s constitution is silent on the electoral system. You’re misinformed.
Proportional representation doesn’t require a constitutional amendment. It’s already been used here, in Manitoba and Alberta in the early 20th century for example. Trudeau promised 2015 would be the last FPTP election. He broke that promise. That’s on him, and no one else.
You’re embarrassing yourself. Proportional representation requires a constitutional amendment. Ranked ballots don’t - and even Trudeau regrets not going that route. But groups like Fair Vote chase fantasies and kill real reform. That’s why nothing ever changes.
We don't support proportional representation because we think it's an easy reform to achieve. We support it because it's the right thing to do for our democracy. Because your vote should have an impact no matter where in this country you call home.
@MBFairVote is right that a PR system can be implemented in Canada without a constitutional amendment
Please correct your assertion, then, that proportional representation requires some constitutional change. @jptasker you may also correct you thesis that the longest ballot doesn't spur interest in electoral reform.
That’s the problem - real PR models include top-up seats, which do change the distribution of seats between provinces. That triggers Section 42 and requires a constitutional amendment.
Alberta used STV for decades at the Provincial level in Edmonton and Calgary. No court ruled those elections were unconstitutional.
If you try to pass single winner ranked ballot, I'll actively campaign for FPTP I'm not changing to a worse system
As long as the distribution of the seats between the provinces is unchanged, proportional representation would not require a constitutional amendment. The only circumstance in which it would is if it abolished ridings — ie pure national list PR, a la Israel — which no one has…
The Fair Representation Act would bring #RankedChoiceVoting & multi-member districts to Congress. These simple reforms would end gerrymandering, put voters first, & make Congress work for their constituents. Ask Congress to support the #FairRepAct: fairvoteaction.quorum.us/campaign/FairR…
Manitoba byelection called for Aug 26. More to come. #mbpoli burnabynow.com/politics/manit…
No constitutional change is required to enact proportional representation as the Friday Conservative pundit claimed in error today. Please issue a correction Fred Delorey and host of Power and Politics, JP Tasker, next Friday August 1, 2025. Note proportional representation…
The U.S. struggles to act on major issues, even with broad public support, because of structural barriers in the American political system. A two-party, winner-take-all model makes compromise rare and gridlock common. Proportional representation could offer a way forward.
So the @liberal_party isn't going to keep its election ccmpaign promise for pharmacare. Manitoba gets pharmacare though because Manitoba cut a deal before the April election. Three provinces get pharmacare and seven do not. First-past-the-post, winner-take-all elections lead to…
Being a non-Conservative voter in the Prairies is rough under first-past-the-post. Hundreds of thousands voted for other parties and got just 4 seats. Many stayed home, thinking it wouldn’t matter. That’s not electoral justice. We need proportional representation.
