The National Post and Toronto Sun endorsed Pierre Poilievre in the 2025 federal election, and at least 11 of Canada’s legacy news outlets endorsed the Conservatives in the six previous elections.
There’s an obvious media bias towards the CPC, despite Poilievre’s claims that the opposite is true.

If the old order is not coming back, our elections cannot stay stuck in it.
First-past-the-post no longer reflects how Canada votes.
Proportional representation is how we build something better and stronger.

This is the core issue: our system can hand full power to a party that most voters didn’t choose.
That makes politics feel like damage control instead of representation.

Most Americans don't feel represented by either major party, but our winner-take-all election system only gives us one choice. Here’s how proportional representation could be the solution, we just need more people talking about it.

The next NDP leader may determine whether proportional representation finally happens.
Some candidates are clear and vocal. Others are not.

Just a reminder to all those who are paying more attention to voting right now. There is a spectrum of voting systems that fall between least democratic to most. Guess which one the countries that are struggling with minority right wing groups gaining power have?

There is no legal justification, whatsoever, to use military force against a NATO ally like Greenland.
If any military member participates in this without congressional authorization, they are following illegal orders.

When BC held a Citizens’ Assembly, its proposal earned more support than most governments ever do. It only failed because politicians set the bar arbitrarily high.
Now a new Assembly has been recommended. Time to give people a fair path to real proportional representation.
