Canadians have been voting for cooperation, not domination.
Minority governments are here to stay, so why not build an electoral system that makes them work?
Proportional representation is the path to stable, collaborative politics.

It's worth noting that @kayabagaarielle.bsky.social was one of 39 MPs to vote in favour of a Citizen's Assembly on Electoral Reform in 2023.
The new Liberal government should support a Citizen's Assembly so that there are no more conflicts of interest in who decides how MPs are elected.

Congratulations @kayabagaarielle.bsky.social on your new role as Minister of Democratic Institutions!
We urge you to make electoral reform a priority—Canada needs proportional representation for a fairer, more representative democracy.

There it is, First Past the Pole (FPTP) election system is American and thus un-Canadian. We need a proportional voting system that doesn't waste the majority of votes like FPTP does. #cdnpoli
Canada in the EU?
That would mean mandatory proportional representation for European Parliament elections.
If we're moving towards Europe, why keep our U.S.-style First-Past-the-Post system?
Let's fix our democracy.

With the US-Canada trade war heating up, Canadians are looking for friends elsewhere.
Perhaps surprisingly, nearly half of Canadians say they would support joining the European Union
