"Electoral reform would be tantamount to enacting political antitrust legislation."
Exactly. Politicians shouldn't be allowed to set the rules by which politicians are elected. This is the job of an independent, non-partisan body in the form of a Citizens' Assembly.

If there were awards for systemic flaws in our political system I think Premiers & PMs being able to unilaterally decide what electoral reform will look like or in this case whether it happens at all would win top prizes in the #conflictofinterest and #democraticdeficit categories.

❤️ everyone agrees there’s a conflict of interest when MPs decide election rules. Here’s how things now stand:
👎Our opponents say “it’s no big deal…long ballots though, they’ve gotta be stopped.“
👍We say ”long ballots are no big deal… but that inappropriate conflict of interest needs to be stopped“

There's never been a longest ballot provincially in AB...So what's going on? Best guess is the ruling party is using long ballots as an excuse to enact politically self-serving election rules that have little to do with us (similar to what's happening at PROC)

Long ballots are incredibly common in many jurisdictions, so when MPs claimed last week at PROC that long ballots confuse voters, we have to laugh. What makes them so sure 🇨🇦 voters are more easily confused than voters elsewhere?

Yet more manufactured outrage. This talking point relies on the fact that most Canadians won't really know, or understand what an OA actually does.
As someone who was, years ago, a campaign manager for an independent candidate, there is no reason an OA cannot rep multiple candidates.

1/3 Last week at PROC, profs lined up to support the "1 candidate/OA" proposal. What caught our attention was that they are not proposing 1 candidate/per OA/per riding. To get a better grasp on why they are so interested in this change we took a look at the 2025 election returns...
