The case for proportional representation is undeniable.

CTV reports on how our democracy distorting voting system fuels regional divisions, and how proportional representation can fix it.

@mark-carney.bsky.social, will you champion a system where every vote truly counts?

Polievres desire to use fear to override our Charter of Rights & Freedoms is an extreme over reach of political power. The "Not Withstanding" clause was never intended to give politicians an easy way to circumvent proper process and would set a dangerous precedent!

Get ready to see Pierre Poilievre doing absolutely everything he can to destroy Mark Carney. He’s devastated and desperate after losing a historic lead in the polls in record time. He’ll lie constantly. He’ll be utterly hypocritical. His problem is that it will just remind everyone how toxic he is.

If the media is going to ask stupid questions they should expect such responses. Maybe they should ask the opposition leader about his security clearance.
Hoo boy…. @mark-carney.bsky.social just *dunking* on a jabroni from the Western Standard. Original question was whether he should *reimburse taxpayers for going to Europe because he’s “unelected”*. I clipped the answer from where the guy said trade problems were Trudeau’s fault. #cdnpoli

I recently read a comparison of the results of our Ontario election with the recent election in Germany. Germany (like most of Europe) utilizes a proportional representation electoral system.

43% of the vote gave Doug Ford's PCs 64.5% of the seats and 100% of the power.

It's time for proportional representation!

PCs form a “majority” government with 43% of the vote: Ontario voters cheated again by first-past-the-post - Fair Vote Canada
Only 43% of Ontario voters supported Doug Ford's PCs, yet the voting system has given them 64.5 % of the seats and 100% of the power.

The anticipated low voter turnout is very sad to hear. It's expected to be worse than 2022 when only 18% of eligible voters gave Doug Ford a strong majority. He knows this, it's why he called a February snap election.

Prove him wrong!

Ontario, if you want Doug Ford to be defeated, vote strategically.

That’s it. That’s the post.

Actually, there’s one more thing. If you want Doug Ford to be defeated, YOU HAVE TO VOTE.

If you're like me and haven't received your voter card in the mail yet, don't worry. You don't need it to vote. Just bring your ID, such as your driver's license which lists your name and address. That's all you need to vote.

Doug Ford's short term electricity plan is buying GE made gas fired turbines. I was surprised to learn most of Ontario's gas used to fire these turbines is imported from Pennsylvania & Ohio.

One of the hardest things to watch, as the United States circles the drain with the real potential of taking the world with it, is the unrelenting debate about whether the Democrats were too woke, or not woke enough?

I would’ve voted for a literal potted plant to help keep Trump from power.

“The once inevitable ascension of Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is now in doubt, since former central banker Mark Carney looks like he might be better suited to managing Trump.”

“Ironically, Trump may have done Canadians a favor by pushing them to do things they ought to have done long ago.”

Canada is incredibly reliant on access to U.S. markets. It didn't have to be this way, writes Stephen Maher.

Only 18% of Ontarians voted for Doug Ford in 2022. In that time he's wasted billions of dollars on his pet projects like booze in our grocery stores, destroying the green belt, and tearing out bike infrastructure while real issues like health care, education and housing have only gotten worse.

Poor Dougie misplaced his 2022 mandate and wants a new one. I guess that's why he hasn't delivered on his promises to improve health care, increase housing or even cut taxes. Yet he still added $90 billion more debt, go figure??

FORD must go!
