Any decision made has to be supported by 51+% of Canadians

A referendum model? Best of luck with that. We don't even elect political parties that represent 51% of voters. You'd end up with a) almost nothing getting done , and b) probably no way back to the current model.

They're talking about getting a more representative voting system, so that who holds the seats actually reflects who voted.

I don't believe current system is working either. Precisely because we operate under "majority" governments elected by 30% of population. So either 100% of population got to vote or we're down to referendum.
