Once upon a time, 37% was enough to win everything. So the promise of proportional representation was tossed aside.

Then the same system delivered the opposite result: zero seats and a resignation. The lesson is simple. Stop gambling. Choose proportional representation.

Proportional representation is not a leap into the unknown.

It is a proven system used around the world, and more Canadians are recognizing that we can make it work too.

When a government knows it cannot be easily voted out, accountability erodes. First-past-the-post turns minority support into unchecked power.

Proportional representation changes the incentives and strengthens democratic oversight.

[Fair Vote Canada 🗳️🍁 @FairVoteCanada]

When first-past-the-post ties mainstream conservatives to separatists inside one party, every disagreement becomes a crisis.

Proportional representation would reduce that turmoil and give voters a clearer sense of where each group stands.

When BC held a Citizens’ Assembly, its proposal earned more support than most governments ever do. It only failed because politicians set the bar arbitrarily high.

Now a new Assembly has been recommended. Time to give people a fair path to real proportional representation.

@MrBBeard @FairVoteCanada @Alex_S_Cullen Proportional representation wins the competition for positive, public-minded communication between political parties.

Governments usually require a coalition to achieve a majority.
Sometimes three or more parties form coalitions.

Ontario’s last election showed how millions of votes went unrepresented, letting one party govern without majority support.

With proportional representation, every vote helps shape the government and fake majorities become a thing of the past.

@OcetfoC @FairVoteCanada @nigelbme So what exact PR voting system do they use?
Does everyone in their country get an equal vote?

Proportional representation means parties must keep the support of most voters to stay in power, leading to balanced policies.

Meanwhile, first-past-the-post can hand majority control to parties without majority support, leaving many voices unheard.

We don't support proportional representation because we think it's an easy reform to achieve.

We support it because it's the right thing to do for our democracy.

Because your vote should have an impact no matter where in this country you call home.

@beachmagoo @micgen0420 @FairVoteCanada @MarkJCarney I guess it says something if it’s too hard to rank your favourite restaurants by brand and location (ie party and candidate)

[Edolon @EdolonWolf]

@kfk222 @beachmagoo @FairVoteCanada @MarkJCarney Riding size is determined by population
We can always choose to have a single politician represent fewer people

STV is a great voting system for Canada
We should bring back its use in Canada

[Fair Vote Canada 🗳️🍁 @FairVoteCanada]

Alberta thrives on fairness and opportunity. But our voting system doesn't reflect that.

@MarkJCarney, you have a real opportunity to bring in proportional representation and strengthen our democracy, not just for Alberta, but all of Canada.

Reminder: Ford can only do this because he has a majority government with just 43% of the vote.

It’s time to demand proportional representation in Ontario so no party can ram through an undemocratic agenda.

@Ksmith128Kevin @FairVoteCanada @acoyne How exactly would there be more alienation if %votes == %seats?
