Actually Akshay on Bluesky

Dropped off some more door-hanging flyers! Didn't see many folks this time, but every one of them was interested and learned about @fairvote.ca, so I'm feeling good.

Alt text: A Fair Vote Canada door hanger flyer with five colorful sections explaining the benefits of proportional representation. The top section reads "Why proportional representation?" with a subtitle "I want my vote to count, and I want my neighbour's vote to count. That's proportional representation." The sections are color-coded from top to bottom: Purple: "30% of the vote = 30% of the seats" with subtitle "That's fair!". Yellow: "Power is shared" with subtitle "No more 39% majorities!". Blue: "We can vote for what we believe in" with subtitle "Every vote will count!". Green: "Cooperative decision-making" with subtitle "For our future!". Orange: "We'll all have an MP we helped elect" with subtitle "Representation that works!". The flyer is being held by a hand against a background of concrete and grass. Alt text: A Fair Vote Canada informational flyer displaying a pie chart showing public support for proportional representation. The pie chart is predominantly blue, with 68% labeled as "Support", 19% as "Oppose", and 13% as "Don't Know". The top of the flyer features the Fair Vote Canada logo with a maple leaf. The text explains that under the current first-past-the-post system, a party can form a "majority government" with less than 40% of the popular vote. It emphasizes that a strong majority of Canadians support proportional representation and calls for MPs to work together to implement electoral reform. The bottom of the flyer includes a QR code and the website www.faivote.ca. The flyer is being held by a hand against a background of concrete and grass, with multiple copies of the flyer visible.

They are great, most politicians just shove their papers under the door or in the mail. I like the door hanger better!

Sadly, I was not home when they came by. If you are in contact with the organizers, please send my thanks.

Those door hangers look really nice!

They do look great! The design is clean, and the messaging is spot-on. Grassroots efforts like this are exactly how we'll build the momentum needed to finally get proportional representation in Canada.

It's encouraging to see that 68% of Canadians already support PR. The more people who understand how our current system wastes millions of votes, the closer we get to meaningful reform!
