Disappointed to see that the vote did not pass, and to see how little coverage there seems to be. I guess there is still more work to do to get change on this front – but I’m not sure how the Liberals, and Trudeau specifically, could have been more clear during the campaign that electoral reform would happen. 🙂

Interesting note: I was checking something on the Fair Vote Canada website http://www.fairvote.ca/ this morning and saw this quote:
Pierre Trudeau, Former Prime Minister of Canada, quoted in the Leader Post, 1979
[I]t will be even more difficult for the federal government to speak in the name of the nation and form national policy [unless Canada adopts a more proportional voting system].
Not sure what else the current government needs to move towards PR. Maybe sending that quote to the PMOs office, and MPs would help! 🙂
