@Keira_Gunn_YYC Keira, you will like this:

"NDP voters would have elected a second NDP MP, maybe Keira Gunn from Calgary."

@DalrympleWill Very good to hear. And I wish more could say the same.

[Wilfred Day @WilfDay]

Very good video, should be widely shared

In 2015, we produced a video with York U professor Denis Pilon explaining how Mixed Member Proportional could work in Canada.

Ten years later, the case is even clearer. We need consensus and collaboration, not unchecked power won in a few swing ridings. https://t.co/9sxeygiJdd

Hey Doug Ford,
there are high school students working more hours part-time
than Ontario’s legislature sat last year.

Maybe cool it on the “get to work” lectures.

@TheNoorRafat Nice of you to give a forecast tonight for "our friends in Port Hope." (We heard you.)

[Wilfred Day @WilfDay]

@MercedesGlobal @KCwvbc Keep flagging that. 99% of people posting here assume a federal agency did this.

[Wilfred Day @WilfDay]

Also, you can vote for the local candidate you like best regardless of party, without hurting your party, since it's the party (regional) ballot that determines the party make-up of the House, with MMP. About 32% of voters split their ballots this way in New Zealand.

[Fair Vote Canada 🗳 🇨🇦 @FairVoteCanada]

Under proportional representation, MPs and party members have real leverage.

If leadership ignores them, they can break away and still win seats. That pressure keeps parties accountable and responsive.

That’s how democracy should work.

The case for proportional representation is undeniable.

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

@MarkJCarney, will you champion a system where every vote truly counts?

@KevinVuongMP @NDP The We Chat post would have been in Chinese. The translation is very suspect.

[Wilfred Day @WilfDay]

@maxfawcett We have a multi-party democracy already, and we need a system where your vote counts, no matter where you live. For example, Alberta Liberals should have elected 11 MPs, not just two.

@ElexiconEnergy outage in Port Hope at 50 Charles Street

[Wilfred Day @WilfDay]

@ElexiconEnergy Have you even started on Port Hope yet? 50 Charles Street has been out for more than 3 hours, most trees have ice.

[Wilfred Day @WilfDay]

Conservatives will show up for a photo op – but when workers need them, they're nowhere to be seen. https://t.co/24qynxAkOV

@JPJacula @FairVoteCanada @OntarioNDP Recommended by the Law Commission of Canada, and described in the Report of the Electoral Reform Committee ERRE.

Make no mistake…

@JPJacula @FairVoteCanada @OntarioNDP A made-in-Canada MMP system uses open lists. Every MPP faces the voters.

[Fair Vote Canada 🗳 🇨🇦 @FairVoteCanada]

📢 The @OntarioNDP has once again committed to proportional representation in their platform!

They promise to replace first-past-the-post with a mixed-member proportional system where every vote counts.

Let’s make sure electoral reform stays on the agenda!

[Fair Vote Canada 🗳 🇨🇦 @FairVoteCanada]

Or—hear us out—we implement proportional representation.

No merging required.

[Fair Vote Canada 🗳 🇨🇦 @FairVoteCanada]

If any Ontario leaders are wondering what to raise in the leader's debate, take some inspiration from Jack Layton.

He knew our electoral system was broken—and that Canada needs proportional representation
