…it cannot be true, because it must not be true, because “we are a democracy.” But at some point the facts become unanswerable. - quote from Vivian Unger

…Because we preserve the forms and rituals, people find it hard to accept how far the substance has been eaten away. We are so heavily invested in our self image as one of the world's great democracies that evidence to the contrary tends not to penetrate:

Checkout Andrew Coyne’s book “ The Crisis of Canadian Democracy “
“ Put simply, we do not live in the system we think we do. We have the form of a democracy, but not the substance; the rituals, but not the reality.

The Ford government is fast-tracking its "Housing Bill" RIGHT NOW to avoid debate, amendments, and public input 🤨


This is an attack on Ontario's cities and democracy.

Absolutely agree. FPTP doesn’t reflect who we really are. It exaggerates divides and leaves too many voices unheard. Proportional representation would give all regions and viewpoints a fair say, it’s time we made the switch.
The sooner we realise FPTP fuels Western alienation—by making the West look more solidly blue than it is while also underrepresenting the right in our largest cities—the sooner we can implement proportional representation and elect a truly representative Parliament.

Ontario has cleaner, cheaper options than a $2.2B gas plant that’ll run just 3% of the time. Battery storage, demand response & Quebec imports cost up to 92% less. Why choose pollution over progress?
