Repost if you think @bonnieforontario.bsky.social and the @ontarioliberal.bsky.social party should take a page from the Nova Scotia Liberals and put proportional representation in their platform.
A political campaign promise from the Nova Scotia Liberal Party titled "Implement Proportional Representation." The text states that the province needs electoral reform to ensure politicians are accountable to the people and that the system reflects society. It pledges to amend the Elections Act to introduce a moderate proportional representation model that maintains strong regional representation. An expert commission will be appointed to determine the plan’s details and ensure protected representation for Acadians and African Nova Scotians. A cost estimate at the bottom states: "No additional spending required."

Democracy needs an upgrade—proportional representation is the solution.
Comparison chart titled 'Which plan is right for Canada?' comparing First-past-the-post (Starter) and Proportional (Premium) electoral systems across six features: Local representation (both checked), Real voter choice (X for First-past-the-post, checkmark for Proportional), Almost every vote counts (X for First-past-the-post, checkmark for Proportional), Seats match the popular vote (X for First-past-the-post, checkmark for Proportional), Laws require majority support (X for First-past-the-post, checkmark for Proportional), Encourages cooperation (X for First-past-the-post, checkmark for Proportional). Proportional is highlighted as the 'Upgrade Now' option. Bottom features Fair Vote Canada branding and website fairvote.ca.

Why a Right-Leaning Government in New Zealand Built Bike Lanes—and Ontario Plans to Tear Them Down - Fair Vote Canada
First-past-the-post means governments can cater to some voters and ignore the needs of others. Tearing up Toronto's bike lanes is the most recent example.
