What’s more chilling than Trump’s presidency? The fact that we use the same system that just handed him total control.

First-past-the-post fuels a hyper-partisan two-party system.

If we want to protect democracy in Canada, we need proportional representation.

All of these Fairvote posts are great, but how to we get PR info practice?

It will not at all be easy to obtain proportional representation, but the future of Canada's democracy depends on us.

We must remain focused, and not get distracted by:

At this point in time, the PR movement is growing - for several decades now. This is not a sign that the movement is not doing anything, it's more of a sign of the power of anti-democratic forces.

Also see: the list American owned media pretending to be Canadian, infiltrating Canadian culture and politics.

Justin Trudeau himself admitted that the LPC's promise to have 2015 be the last election under FPTP, was specifically to capture the fair vote community.

But yes, a lot of the current work we can do is carrying the torch, until we reach critical mass.
