We absolutely need to move towards proportional representation in Canada.
Day after day, election after election, decisions are made that don’t benefit our society.
Instead of division and fear, all parties need to work together to improve the lives of all Canadians.

Proportional representation helps prevent this.
✅More women get elected.
✅Decisions are more balanced.
The Sask Party’s actions show why we need PR.
The Saskachewan NDP and @carlabecksk.bsky.social should be leading this fight for a better democracy.

Fact check on “Canada’s biggest industry”: oil and gas contributes ~3% to Canada’s GDP. Does the word “biggest” have another meaning that I’m not aware of? “Loudest” may be more accurate. www.capp.ca/en/our-prior...

In this new era of foreign interference and enemies infiltrating our institutions, it must become mandatory that all MP’s get security clearance. There’s no excuse now. It’s a matter of national security and it can’t be ignored. Please make this happen @liberalca.bsky.social @mark-carney.bsky.social
