Hey everyone! I have a quick action item here for you, if you are interested. There appears to be some movement on getting a National Citizen’s Assembly on Electoral Reform. Passing this would be a significant step towards a better, more equitable voting system here in Canada. Thank you for your support!
Please share with others, in your circles, who might be interested in supporting this important step.

Thanks to the leadership of the NDP’s Democratic Reform Critic, MP Daniel Blaikie, a motion on a National Citizens’ Assembly on Electoral Reform is about to be put to a vote at the Procedures and House Affairs (PROC) Committee!
To win this vote, we need six principled MPs to say YES to a courageous next step to strengthen Canada’s democracy.
Send a message to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the MPs on the PROC Committee urging them to support a National Citizens’ Assembly on Electoral Reform!

NOTE: The discrepancies above do not account for the fact that, in a Proportional System, Green Party supporters, for example, would be more free to vote for their true first choice, as opposed to voting for a lower choice, in order to avoid an even less desirable choice. With full PR, therefore, the “how we vote” shares would be more diverse than it is now, and that greater diversity would be represented more accurately in “what we got.”
