🚨 Let’s be clear: Pierre Poilievre wants to WASTE your hard-earned taxpayer dollars on foreign aid to Israel (as they are committing a genocide in Gaza and have illegal settlements in the West Bank), and on projects that hurt the environment in the middle of a climate crisis

🚨 BC Greens leader Emily Lowan wants British Columbia to adopt a Proportional Representation system with regional ridings where MLAs would be elected based on % of support their party receives in their regional riding 🗳️ What are your thoughts on this idea?

🚨 The world’s 10 strongest democracies (according to The Economist’s Democracy Index) all elect their representatives through Proportional Representation If we want to improve our democracy here in Canada, we NEED Proportional Representation!

The BC Greens are proud to announce Emily Lowan as our new Party Leader! An organizer, advocate, and strategist, Emily has spent over a decade fighting for climate justice, Indigenous solidarity, and democratic renewal.

BREAKING 🚨 The University of Waterloo will not renew its partnership with the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, following a referendum in 2024 in which 83.9% of participating undergraduates voted in favor of ending the collaboration.

Mark Carney isn’t “rewarding Hamas” by recognizing the state of Palestine, he is rewarding the millions of innocent Palestinians who are dealing with an illegal occupation and genocide by the Israeli government and who simply want peace, freedom & self-determination

According to Éric Grenier’s chart, 68% for Marit Stiles is supposedly the lowest leadership review result since the 2000s for an NDP leader who has received over 50% of the vote

BREAKING 🚨 International students enrolled at a private college have alleged that they were compelled by the institution to campaign for the Conservatives in 2024 Poilievre needs to be clear to Canadians: does he condemn what happened, or not?

🚨 Trump falsely calls Mamdani a “communist” while highlighting a flaw in the current FPTP voting system by urging candidates to drop out to prevent vote-splitting

Very interesting. Seems like a good amount of Americans support Proportional Representation

Most voters also say that single-member districts are unfair to the minority party in deep red/blue states. We asked if voters would support a system that allocated House seats by party proportional to the share of the vote they win statewide, and 46% said yes (27% no).

The federal government has again raised the prospect of expanding the parliament. In today's post I take a look at how long redistributions take, and how they take longer now than they did in 1984, so if they want to move on parliamentary expansion they need to do it asap.

The NDP needs to pressure the Carney government to implement a Proportional Representation system for the next federal election (which can include a ranked ballot too, such as Jenkins-Baaj MMP or the Single Transferable Vote)

Then he’ll likely cry that they’re splitting the vote lol If Tom Suozzi wants the USA to have a multi-party system, he should support the Fair Representation Act (which would implement STV) & advocate for Proportional Representation

Last night at the townhall with May, someone asked why we've had trouble attracting youth to the Party. Hear from Young Green Sami Baaj @politics-with-sami.bsky.social about voting "No" in the leadership review. #gpc #greenparty #cdnpoli

Reform UK is currently projected to win 370 seats with just 32.7% of the popular vote The UK needs to implement a #ProportionalRepresentation system

The fossil fuel lobby doesn’t just influence politics, it recruits it. MPs and senior advisers leave Parliament and walk straight into oil and gas boardrooms and lobby groups. That’s how industry keeps writing the rules as Australia faces the climate crisis.

An economy in which Qantas posts a $1.6 billion profit while families struggle to afford childcare and workers can’t put food on the table isn’t something to be proud of. Tax the big corporations!

🚨 Gen-Z conservative Brilyn Hollyhand uses a slippery slope fallacy by claiming that “Socialism is a gateway drug to Communism” in reference to Mamdani running for NYC Mayor, ignoring countries that have socialist policies and never became communist

Canada needs Jenkins-Baaj MMP #cdnpoli #proportionalrepresentation

Poilievre will need to adjust his tone and style if he wants to improve his chances in the next federal election. If he keeps relying on insults, constant aggression, and fear-mongering, it could backfire. Most Canadians don’t want someone overly combative representing them

If I had a dollar for every time someone falsely accused me of supporting the Liberals, I'd be rich

I just came across a sponsored ad on YouTube where someone was blatantly impersonating Mark Carney (with horrible lip-syncing), in an attempt to scam viewers

We witnessed the highest approval rating & the second lowest approval rating for a Prime Minister in the same year

CBC has projected an LPC government

Gonna be interesting to see what happens next for Poilievre

Poilievre has officially blown a 25% lead lmfao

I support STV, but I want 2-member ridings in rural areas and 3-7 member ridings everywhere else & I want proportional results (below a 5 on the Gallagher Index) - what do you guys propose as a solution?

On Saturday, I had the opportunity to door-knock for Simon Guthrie in Waterloo! 💚

Let’s go @annackeenan.bsky.social!! 👏👏

If you had told me the LPC would have 33% chances of winning the most seats in December, I would have thought you were crazy

Does someone know when it is expected for Carney to officially become Prime Minister?

The formation of Carney's cabinet will matter because it can help us know how his cabinet could look like after the federal election, in the event he wins (as long as the cabinet ministers picked now generally remain the same after the election)

Send a message to the PCs, OLP & ONDP that you want progressive policies, politicians who aren’t forced to toe a party line & more multi-party collaboration in Ontario politics, by voting for your local Green Party of Ontario candidate on or before Feb 27th!

If we get MMP in Canada one day, we need to push so that we get multi-member ridings of 2-7 MPs with MPs elected under a system like open list PR, while maintaining top-up MPs by reducing their share so that they only make up around 15% of the total MPs

What are your thoughts about this voting system?

Albanese was elected with the most progressive parliament since at least 1951, if not the most progressive ever Unlike Gillard in 2010 Albanese has outright squandered the whole term We could have had so many good things, but he'd prefer to do nothing and cast the Greens as blockers To what end?

Just updated: www.thewrit.ca/p/ontario-el...

Doug Ford is planning to call a snap election even though we’re likely soon going to have to deal with a tariff war with the USA

In my opinion, if I could change the constitution and/or parliamentary rules, if a PM wants to prorogue parliament, they should table a “motion to prorogue” & prorogation should only happen if 50%+ of MPs (preferably elected under a PR system) vote in favour of the motion

Get ready for division to possibly happen within the CPC caucus after the election between socons and social progressives, especially since right now they are mainly “united” (which is done through silencing & punishing MPs) because they don’t want Trudeau as PM

Poilievre is not a fan of Conservative MPs freely expressing their views publicly In fact, according to The Globe and Mail, his own team told "MPs not to comment on Alberta transgender policies", effectively silencing them on this issue. He shouldn't be PM

We need Senators to be elected, and under a Proportional Representation system! (or we could abolish the Senate altogether, that works with me too)

I am happy that Bashar Al-Assad will likely not lead Syria anymore, and I am honestly also worried about what will come next. All Syrian people deserve peace, safety, democracy, freedom & secularism

I really appreciate the Lib Dems’ work in the UK when it comes to their opposition to FPTP & them pressuring the Labour government to support Proportional Representation

The faster we work to collaborate this election to implement proportional representation the faster we can have the next election where all parties can run fairly on their own without vote splitting @maritstilesndp.bsky.social @bonnieforontario.bsky.social @mikeschreiner.bsky.social

Great question - no, it’s not random! They go through every single one of that candidate’s ballot papers, look at the second preferences listed on them, and distribute the surplus pro-rata so that everyone gets the appropriate share. If they did it any other way, a recount could change the result!

STV is an awesome voting system!
