Our democracy distorting first-past-the-post system fuels the polarisation driving separatist movements.
@mark-carney.bsky.social, you can end this and bring in proportional representation—uniting Canadians with a truly representative democracy.

Original 1945 postcard from my collection.
And it's true.
Much of the Netherlands was liberated by Canadian troops and we fell for them hard and a special relationship with Canada was born... and so were a lot of babies ;)
Anyway, hello Canadians ;) 👋😘
