True today as it was before.

Welp, Doug Ford can screw off.

[Fair Vote Ontario 🗳 @FairVoteOntario]

Why would @fordnation take away the freedom of municipalities to decide their own voting system? We should be protecting democracy not dismantling it.

Conservatives are anti-democratic.

That's the other tweet

URGENT: Doug Ford just announced plans to BAN ranked ballots in Ontario. London would be forced to switch back to First-Past-the-Post and the results of two referendums (Kingston+Cambridge) would be overturned. Join us on Monday to learn why this matters: https://t.co/6AV1Nd24La

@PatriciaKnits @gordner @TorontoRaBIT @123Whitby @123LondonOnt @RankedBallotWR @FairVoteCanada @fairvote As elections are FUNDAMENTALLY UNDEMOCRATIC, outcomes cannot be anything other than undemocratic.

Ranked ballots are not PR.
STV is not PR.

But for one, MMP is the only format capable of achieving PR.

The winner take all approach in the USA is the same approach used in Canada 🇨🇦.

We must seek to improve our Democracy.

We can no longer ignore the inequality on the streets or in the voting booth.

1) That's ridiculous. It's just a request for a staff report. The public doesn't need notice for that. Consultation will follow.

2) Untrue. In fact, opposite is true!

3) This one is complicated. There at least four paths forward, with varying degrees of public input.

I was called & screamed at by a constituent b/c:

1) Council approved Clerk to report back on RB's w/o enough notice (untrue)
2) "Ranked Ballots favour the incumbent" (fact check?)
3) Elected officials shouldn't vote on how they're voted on (then who?)

[Make Votes Matter @MakeVotesMatter]

The time for Proportional Representation has come.

Actually, it came about a century ago.

Belgium adopted PR in 1900.
Switzerland in 1918.
Ireland in 1922.
Etc.

Better late than never. Let's #ChangeTheVotingSystem so Parliament reflects how we vote.

Tonight we will learn the winner of the Green Party of Canada's leadership race.

Results will be announced at 8PM EST.

[Unlock Democracy Canada @UnlockDemCA]

We're asking BC's party leaders if they support Local Choice for municipalities to customize their council elections. Ontario's 444 municipalities won this right 4 years ago - What's the holdup in BC? We're waiting to hear from: @Wilkinson4BC @SoniaFurstenau @JjHorgan @Trevfsj

[City of Burlington @cityburlington]

Any public consultation must be done by May 2021, as legislated by the Municipal Elections Modernization Act 2016, Ontario Regulation 310/16.

[City of Burlington @cityburlington]

City staff will report back to the Corporate Services, Strategy, Risk and Accountability Committee with a proposed engagement plan, timeline, and budget before the consultation will take place.

[City of Burlington @cityburlington]

At its meeting on Sept. 28, Burlington City Council approved initiating a public consultation process regarding the use of ranked ballots in the 2022 municipal election. ⤵️ #BurlON

[Ranked Ballot Initiative of Toronto (RaBIT) @TorontoRaBIT]

Delighted to have Councillor @kristynwongtam confirm that she will continue to support #rankedballots and vote to move them forward at Council tomorrow.

We now have 8 yes votes! Help us reach a majority by emailing, calling, tweeting your Councillors and Mayor @JohnTory #TOpoli
