Petition for Mark Carney to implement #ProportionalRepresentation and end FPTP in #Canada: you.leadnow.ca/petitions/prime

Leadnow.caMake Canada's voting system fair and proportional!Canadians are tired of our broken voting system. After Trudeau broke his promise of reforming our electoral system in 2015, apathy and cynicism towards our democracy has grown. If Canada is to weather the challenges that come our way, we must strengthen our democracy by making our voting systems more fair through proportional representation. As our new Prime Minister, Mark Carney has an opportunity to deliver on this broken promise!  Proportional representation would ensure majority...

actionnetwork.org📢 No More First Past the Post Elections!Thursday’s election results confirm what so many of us already know: the current voting system is broken. With 5 parties polling strongly, First Past the Post is delivering chaos and turning elections into a lottery — where few people get what they want and most votes don’t matter. The 2024 General Election and 2025 Local and Mayoral elections have exposed just how unfair and disproportional the system really is. It’s eroding trust in politics and failing to deliver stable governance. 💥 It’s time for a voting system that reflects all our voices. That’s why I’m join the fight for Proportional Representation, so that every vote counts equally. ✍️ Sign the petition now and demand real democracy:

"Canada’s voting system is a pre-democratic hold-over and it remains in use because it serves those that benefit from it." It's time for #electoralReform; it's time for #proportionalRepresentation. canadiandimension.com/articles

canadiandimension.comThe ‘strategic voting’ election and its undemocratic consequencesThe 2025 federal election demonstrates the failings our electoral institutions from a democratic perspective. But here it is important to remember they were never created or kept in place with democratic objectives in mind. Canada’s voting system is a pre-democratic hold-over and it remains in use because it serves those that benefit from it.

We need electoral reform in Canada. So many of us are worried about climate change yet our De facto two party system keeps our voices out of government.

"The globally representative data reveal strong support for climate action ...a large majority of individuals—69%—state they would be willing to contribute 1% of their household income every month to fight global warming." - study authors

nature.com/articles/s41558-024

NatureGlobally representative evidence on the actual and perceived support for climate action - Nature Climate ChangeGlobal support and cooperation are necessary for successful climate action. Large-scale representative survey results show that most of the population around the world is willing to support climate action, while a perception gap exists regarding other citizens’ intention to act.

We dodged a bullet but barely IMO. Remember when Harper closed libraries and some material was saved at the last minute from dumpsters by volunteers?

(edit) GTA voters didn't care about Science or Fascism only about keeping criminals in jail. (As pointed out, Toronto itself was fairly Liberal)

We need electoral reform folks.

The antiquated, undemocratic, insanity of the Canadian electoral system was really what took centre stage last night as Canadians all over the country tried to figure out how to twist and squeeze the First Past the Post system into a result that would stop our own mini-Trump.

We managed to do it successfully in enough places, but it had the opposite effect in others, allowing #CPC candidates to come up the middle, and all at the expense of our multi-party democracy.

There are plenty of ridings to pick from for examples, but the simplest example of what is wrong is always the national vote compared to seats.

Bloc: 6.4% national vote = 6.7% (23) seats.
NDP: 6.3% national vote = 2.0% (7) seats.

Until the two ‘ruling' parties fix this, Canada will never be a truly functional modern democracy.

Now, in a minority situation where doing what is best for the country as a whole should be top of everyone's agenda, could be a good time to push.

It would also save our Elections Canada workers from having to deal with another 6ft long ballot in some as yet undetermined riding. ;=)

A screenshot of a table from elections Canada shows a list of parties in the election. I have highlighted with a brown box the Bloc Québécois and New Democratic Party results.

If the Liberals need the NDP to form a minority government, NDP demands should include:
- at least 1 cabinet post. Give them a seat in the inner circle.
- make #ElectoralReform a legislative priority (idea from @ZebKing).
- insist on support for 2 or 3 NDP platform ideas and guarantee that the NDP gets credit for those ideas.

This is also an opportunity for Carney to demonstrate he governs for all Canadians.

@MatWright
The two incumbent #NDP swing ridings in #BC both went Conservative because the Libs were more willing to risk losing some seats than negotiating strategic voting deals where one candidate in each riding stepped down to secure a sure non Con winner in both

Turns out the Libs didn’t need it luckily

But not a good sign for a multi-party democracy

Not like there’s any motivation for #ElectoralReform from the winners after another #FPTP victory like this

Electoral results map for North Island–Powell River. Shows a blue Conservative win. With a liberal and NDP split of the majority 33% and 24%.
Electoral results map for New Westminster–Burnaby–Maillardville. Shows a blue Conservative win. With a liberal and NDP split of the majority 33% and 29%.

Dear Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party of Canada.

If you had kept your promise and implemented Proportional Representation, you would have a strong progressive government right now, hands down.

Instead, you missed a majority AND you have split progressives and allowed more Conservative seats than would otherwise be in place.

And no... Ranked Ballots would NOT have helped this.
