I’m a big fan of the greens and all but isn’t fairvote supposed to be non-partisan?
Wtf CBC. Way to dump fuel on all the transphobia
It seems weird that they describe PR as vulnerable to fringe parties when we’ve got front row seats for two party FPTP allowing fascists to get all the power…
The last term was an excellent example of it not quite being two party, with the NDP pushing a liberal minority for some significant gains. It’s not nearly as good or democratic as it could have been, but I think it’s important for us to remember what ground we do still have. This election could be an opportunity to galvanized support for proportional representation with so many people voting liberal out of perceived necessity.
Agreed, but that just means we have to. Democracy is strongest when we’re engaged in more than just elections. Check out https://www.fairvote.ca/ to get involved.
