When BC held a Citizens’ Assembly, its proposal earned more support than most governments ever do. It only failed because politicians set the bar arbitrarily high. Now a new Assembly has been recommended. Time to give people a fair path to real proportional representation.

The fate of the BC Liberals is a reminder that blocking reform does not protect parties. First past the post eventually turns on everyone. A new Citizens Assembly offers a fair way to rebuild the rules so voters and parties alike get real representation.

I care about voting reform so much!! I'm so hopeful that this time BC can make it stick (and as I understand it, Citizen's Assembly is a great path forward)! I also want this to happen as a signal to the federal government... 🤞😣🤞

Never give up, never give in. We need to change our voting system to PR. Period. The Electoral Reform Committee recommends a Citizens Assembly. Assembly will recommend which PR system to use with, hopefully, NO REFERENDUM!! Just implement!! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

But #health, #housing, and #environment are just niche issues, right? ;-) Whatever your top issue is, countries using #ProportionalRepresentation perform better.

Let's hope the BC NDP follow through on both the recommendations for a Citizens' Assembly as well as enabling municipalities to upgrade their voting system. People don't realize how our electoral system is hindering us in every sector.

Voting systems matter, they have consequences, whether it's a seat count that wins a false majority or a proportional vote count, where # of votes = # of seats. Being able to vote also matters. Election Canada must fix this issue. www.aptnnews.ca/national-new...

That's our FVC Victoria Chapter rallying the BC NDP. We need to see them follow through with setting up what the public consultation asked for, a citizens assembly, then implement what they come up with. Premier David Eby, the ball's in your court, 93% supports Pro Rep. Lets get it done!!

This is FVC's Victoria Chapter razzing the BC NDP to do the right thing, set up what the public consultation has asked for, a citizens assembly, then implement what they come up with. You can do it BC NDP, Premier David Eby, the balls in your court.

The ball is in your court David Eby. Overwhelmingly people supported proportional representation and an citizens' assembly. Our job was to speak out and we did! Your job is to make it happen. The balls in your court Premier.

The evidence is clear. Countries with proportional representation have lower polarization, more stability, and more real choice. Cooperation becomes normal instead of rare. 9/10

A non partisan Citizens’ Assembly on Electoral Reform would give BC a trusted path to design a proportional system that reflects the province’s values. 10/10 Full committee report: www.leg.bc.ca/committee-co...

This is one of the issues that polarizes people: corruption made easy by first past the post. People get fed up BUT what can they do but watch it happen. That's when things can get radical. More polarization occurs. This isn't going away, we need the fix. Demand...Proportional representation!!

If memes could fix FPTP, we wouldn’t need a town hall. But since they can’t… join our Electoral Reform Town Hall and be part of the solution 🙌 www.facebook.com/share/1Fvmf2...

This is what concentrated power produces. A party wins a majority with forty percent of the vote and suddenly has the freedom to target its opponents. Proportional representation makes prevents this kind of behaviour by requiring broad, shared control of government.

In the latest episode of @newstatesman1913.bsky.social podcast, @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social argues in favour of the UK adopting a form of PR - similar to the one used in Germany. He's right. The country needs fundamental democratic reform: starting with giving everyone a vote that truly counts.

When governments flip direction every cycle, long term projects stall and public trust sinks. This is what first-past-the-post produces by design. Proportional representation creates stable majorities that support consistent long term policy.

Tony #NDP2026 supports: #ProportionalRepresentation as one of the most important single changes to be implemented by an #NDP government. Under our non-proportional voting system, in most elections, most voters don’t elect anyone to represent them. mastodon.social/@tonymcquail...

Shame on Doug Ford, Danielle Smith, François Legault and Scott Moe. This could be avoided with proportional representation where every vote counts and would stop these wannabe autocrats from trampling people's rights. None of them obtained majority votes, just majority seats with FPTP. @fairvote.ca

Huge moment in this interview with @frankdomenic.bsky.social. NDP leadership candidate @avilewis.ca puts proportional representation on the national stage and makes it the non negotiable democratic reform we need. When leadership contenders acknowledge the core issue, the national debate shifts.

Keep everyone polarized with unchecked power, and slip into the inside pocket, thanks!

Fair Vote supporters from across southern Ontario were outside the federal Liberal convention in Hamilton. Delegates noticed. Many stopped to talk. Some were already on board. Some asked good questions. Everyone left knowing Canadians want proportional representation.

Yes, first past the post creates radical polarization. The studies are out, and the verdict recommends proportional representation!

Western alienation is not inevitable. It is what you get when millions of votes in the West elect almost no one and voters are told their communities do not count unless they back the winning side. Proportional representation would take the heat out of the divide.

First past the post breeds autocratic behavior. We don't have to look far for examples. Thank you Sanna Marin for articulating what we're fighting for. Your political system sets the bar high, consensus, compromise, 'listening', understanding different values. This is what we're fighting for!

Big night in Kings Hants. If you care about the future of our democracy, this is the event to be at. Jo Ann Roberts, author of Storm the Ballot Box, joins a powerful lineup to dig into how proportional representation can level the playing field. Wolfville, Nov 27. All welcome!

Rural Liberal voters and urban Conservative voters keep getting shut out even when they show up in huge numbers. A system that rewards geography instead of voters is not a real democracy. Proportional representation would finally make every vote count.

Politicians with 30%-40% of the vote should not control 100% of your healthcare decisions. First past the post rewards parties that ignore most voters. Proportional representation means governments that actually serve the majority.

How many more years of Doug Ford must we endure until we all agree on proportional representation?

Politicians love to warn that the other side has a radical agenda. Yet, they don't seem too concerned that first past the post means they can win a majority with less than 40% of the vote. Fear alone will not fix democracy. Proportional representation will.

Last night, Fair Vote Canada hosted a conversation with three Canadians originally from countries with proportional representation. Check out the full webinar on the Fair Vote Canada YouTube channel: youtu.be/-LmNIet76yE?... #cdnpoli #electoralreform #proportionalrepresentation @fairvote.ca

It's so disgusting ..

A quarter of Ontario PC voters say they’re only voting Ford’s party because they don’t see a better option. That’s what first-past-the-post does — it traps every voice on the right under one leader. Proportional representation means real choice, not one-party control. #onpoli

Doug Ford wants to bring back Ontario’s ticket scalping cap, the same rule his government scrapped. It’s a perfect example of policy lurch under first-past-the-post, where each minority-backed government reverses the last. Proportional representation builds stability. #onpoli

As Canadians unite behind the Blue Jays tonight, imagine if our elections worked the same way, where every team and every voter truly had a fair shot. Proportional representation means every voice counts, no matter where you live.

Parties keep talking about early elections because our voting system rewards them for gambling. When you can win all the power with just 30% to 40% of the vote, why wait? Proportional representation would end these power plays and make cooperation the norm.

Montreal’s voting system leaves too many voices unheard. In some boroughs, one party wins every seat with less than half the vote. Ask Montreal’s parties where they stand on proportional representation: fairvotecanada.good.do/proportional...

Anyone who goes to AMERICA stands a chance of being SHOT AT BY I.C.E, you have been warned so go to CANADA where you’ll be safe

Newfoundland and Labrador’s election shows the problem again. A party can win a majority of seats without majority support. Proportional representation would make every vote count equally and ensure real majority rule.

It is long, long past time to ditch the first-past-the-post system. #NLpoli

Is it really democracy when the people don't get what they voted for in any real, material sense?

First past the post is garbage and it’s past time we switched to PR

Groups that endorsed Doug Ford received $237M while the scoring criteria remains secret. When politicians win one-party majorities with only 40% of the vote, corruption thrives. Proportional representation makes parties share power, negotiate in the open, and stay accountable.

Concerned about the health of our democracy in Canada? Looking for something to do Sunday night? You’re in luck. Fair Vote Canada is having a webinar to look closer at what Canada can learn from New Zealand, Ireland and Denmark. #onpoli #cdnpoli #dkpol #democracy #electoralreform @fairvote.ca

A party can win a “majority” with less than 45% of the vote. That’s not democracy. Newfoundland and Labrador’s results show again how first past the post rewards false majorities and leaves most voters without representation. #nlpoli
