Canadian MP Charlie Angus: I am here today to urge Canadians to avoid travel to the United States if at all possible and to call on our government to stand up for our citizens who are being denied their rights through arbitrary detention in the United States.

Proportional representation doesn’t just change how many seats a party wins, but where.

Whether you're a Liberal in rural Alberta or a Conservative in downtown Toronto, you get the representation you vote for.

That's why we love PR-it bridges our divides.

Image showing a comparison from the 2021 Federal Election. On the left, text states that over 300,000 Albertans voted Liberal, resulting in 2 seats. On the right, it states that over 290,000 Torontonians voted Conservative, resulting in 0 seats. Below, a message reads: "Proportional Representation ensures every voice is heard in our democracy." The Fair Vote Canada logo appears at the bottom.

Achieving proportional representation requires challenging the monopoly that major parties hold on power under first-past-the-post and expanding the citizens' campaign to make every vote count!

A digital screenshot of an opinion article titled "The push for electoral reform in Ontario." The article discusses the disproportionality of Ontario’s electoral system, citing that the Progressive Conservatives secured 64.5% of the seats with only 43% of the vote. It attributes the persistence of this system to the historical advantage it provides to the Liberals and Conservatives. The author argues that meaningful electoral reform requires a broad-based coalition of organized labour, farmers, and social justice groups to challenge the status quo. The article emphasizes the need for a clear message about how electoral disproportionality weakens democracy, especially in the context of global threats to democratic institutions. The author, Christopher Alcantara, is identified as a political science professor at Western University. The image within the article shows a yellow Elections Canada sign on a brick wall, partially obscured by a shadow.

Say it with us: Doug Ford won a majority government even though most voters supported a different party.

First-past-the-post distorts the will of the people. It’s time to demand proportional representation.

43% of the vote gave Doug Ford's PCs 64.5% of the seats and 100% of the power.

It's time for proportional representation!

PCs form a “majority” government with 43% of the vote: Ontario voters cheated again by first-past-the-post - Fair Vote Canada
Only 43% of Ontario voters supported Doug Ford's PCs, yet the voting system has given them 64.5 % of the seats and 100% of the power.

The Starlink deal should never have happened.
It should have been cancelled after the Nazi salute.
It should have been cancelled when Trump started a tariff war.

People need to ask Doug why the Starlink deal is still on.

🚨 New Post! 🚨

Canada’s broken electoral system means parties that should be allies are attacking each other instead of working together.

Why? Our winner-take-all system forces them into a fight for survival.
