A non partisan Citizens’ Assembly on Electoral Reform would give BC a trusted path to design a proportional system that reflects the province’s values. 10/10

Parties keep talking about early elections because our voting system rewards them for gambling.
When you can win all the power with just 30% to 40% of the vote, why wait?
Proportional representation would end these power plays and make cooperation the norm.

Today we celebrate democracy, but let’s also reflect on how we can make it stronger.
Most Canadians still don’t see their vote reflected in Parliament. It’s time for proportional representation so every vote counts and every election matters.

Why these predatory delays on social housing aren't human rights challenges are beyond me.
The wealthy Kits homeowner coalition seems to have won its legal battle against the desperately needed Arbutus supportive housing project.
This is what I’m talking about when I say zoning should be abolished. It’s weaponized by the rich to exclude the poor. That is the MAIN use case!

Four times, he said no.
I wonder if he'll feel any responsibility going forward.

Opinion: Canada’s democracy had a decent day. But it can do better to reflect all Canadians in this moment of crisis
In a democracy – and especially in a crisis – citizens need to feel represented. With our election delivering a deeply divided result, let’s ask: should we elect for proportional representation?

1/18 “This is what a two-party system looks like.”

First-past-the-post is failing voters. It fuels division, strategic voting, and regional shutouts—while pushing Canada closer to U.S.-style hyperpolarization.

PP is totally ignoring the legitimate Indigenous claim on federal lands as part of ongoing treaty discussions.
Selling off federal lands for home building — as Poilievre wants to do — is a bad idea. Keeping them and building affordable homes on — as the NDP wants to do — is a good idea.

This election younger Canadians don’t just need promises to build more homes. They need compensation for the financial hardships that government policy has already imposed. Will any federal party finally acknowledge this trade-off? youtu.be/vFSY9oZe_mg
