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?

Atmospheric CO2 has passed 430 parts per million.

The last time atmospheric CO2 was at 430 ppm was during the ancient Pliocene Era, three to five million years ago, and humans didn’t exist.

A dangerous precedent. This is a cowardly folding by CTV. The right instigated an online troll attack campaign, offering no evidence of their claims, and the network folded.

The Mactaquac hydroelectric dam 20 km upriver from Fredericton is a major source of electricity in New Brunswick. Although only halfway through its expected life, it requires major refurbishment. Is spending $8.9 billion to fix a 60-year-old power generation station really the best path forward?
Should Mactaquac be replaced by wind power?

Perhaps only 45% votes bc they have lost faith in our electoral system?
The winning party took 65% of the seats with just 43% of the vote. Meanwhile, the third-place party won over 500,000 more votes than the second-place party.

First-past-the-post is broken. It’s time for proportional representation. #onpoli

In a world of increasing disinformation -- where governments and Big Tech are now leading sources of nonsense -- we need to listen to independent truth-tellers and experts.

Bluesky is a great place to find them.

The collapse of US democracy is a direct consequence of their winner-take-all electoral system, where perverse incentives reward division, hatred and lies.

Thank you @katharinehayhoe.com for tackling the 1.5C "all or nothing" myth. We need to continue working to prevent global warming whether we reach 1.5C of warming or not.
“1.5C was never the difference between safety + ruin, between hope + despair. It was negotiated by govts trying to answer a big q: What’s the highest global temp increase — and associated level of dangers — societies should strive to avoid?”

Well said @zhonggg.bsky.social & @bradplumer.bsky.social
