What’s more chilling than Trump’s presidency? The fact that we use the same system that just handed him total control.

First-past-the-post fuels a hyper-partisan two-party system.

If we want to protect democracy in Canada, we need proportional representation.

I was feeling particularly pessimistic last night.

In this day and age, I don't blame you.

At the same time, I don't feel there's any other viable long term solution than proportional representation. Therefore, we must act to get it done.

Agreed. What can I do other than donate above?

What can we do about it besides donating?

Don't let your pessimism cause you to be complacent! That's exactly what the anti-PR team wants. I know it's hard, but imagine that you are doing it for someone you care about -- because government, and lack of good governance, affects all of us.

  1. Follow fair vote canada on their socials: YouTube, Bluesky.
  2. If you want, sometimes you can volunteer, and sometimes there will be fun get together just to meet other people.
  3. Shop Canadian or ethically. I particularly like purchasing from B Corp Certified organizations: Ecosia Search Engine, Kindred Credit Union, Muskoka Coffee Roastery Co. This is a huge part in taking away power from those who only care about power.
