It’s been 9 years, and now we have a party with 42% of the popular vote in the polls being projected with 61% of the seats.
Why? Because Justin Trudeau never got rid of FPTP
Donald Trump put our nation $8 trillion in debt in just four years, and there’s no indication that he’ll stop the spending sprees if he’s back in the White House.
Our kids are the ones who have to deal with that mess.

Since when is "I love chocolate milk" Hamas merchandise????

It’s more than “a little messed up”, especially since joking about sexual harassment is a terrible thing to do. And I’m not surprised about their reactions at all, sexual harassment sucks and nobody should have to go through these situations.

Ne votez pas pour des partis qui aiment généraliser et dire des stéréotypes quand ça vient aux immigrés, comme le RN & Reconquête

I know people are posting the “but you participate in society! Curious!” Meme but there’s actually a difference between existing in capitalism and literally doing exactly the specific behaviour you are criticizing. But I guess he’s a good propagandist since he practices at Nike.

Accuser un jeune étudiant qui fait ce qu'il faut et s'implique dans la politique (car les politiques ont un impact sur les lycéens) d'être un partisan du Hamas est idiot.
Imane Khelif is a cisgender woman.
She was born female, was registered as a girl at birth, is legally a woman, & continues to identify as a woman.
Is transphobia now so bad that even cisgender women cannot be women if they don’t comply with a certain woman ideal-type?

If you’re focused on us, you should change the electoral system to a Proportional Representation system so that we’re all represented and we all have a voice

How come you haven’t condemned Israel’s preemptive strike on Iran’s embassy in Syria (even if Iranian leaders met there), which killed 2 innocent Syrian civilians and instigated a war?
@GOP
GOP failing to realize his point was that some people have no clue what socialism is, and they consider anything (like *social democratic* policies) to be socialism

All of the top 9 countries use a

system to elect their representatives.
Why can’t we do the same?
The day CBC doesn’t have a 38.5% majority threshold graphic on election night, because we finally implemented proportional representation, will be a momentous occasion for democracy.
Welcome to FPTP where:
14.37% of the popular vote = 22 seats
15.42% of the popular vote = 11 seats
14.60% of the popular vote = 3 seats
12.92% of the popular vote = 0 seats

À tous les jeunes lycéens engagés au RNJ, Julien Odoul sous-entend ici que vous êtes trop jeunes pour faire de la politique. Il vous méprise
I don’t like Justin Trudeau and it’s fine to criticize him, but you have Trudeau derangement syndrome if you’re triggered over him clapping excitedly at a hockey game
To the Liberal partisans who are annoyed about vote-splitting in the Toronto-St Paul's by-election, here's a reminder that Trudeau has been the PM since 2015 and has never gotten rid of FPTP
The Ontario Liberals only won 8 seats with around 24% of the vote. They should’ve won 30 seats.
FPTP is a terrible electoral system & other winner-take-all systems like IRV won’t fix this lack of proportionality.
We need a proportional system in Ontario.
@JustinTrudeau
As a first-time voter, I did not want this election. The minority government was working and I believe that parties should collaborate together, no parties should have a majority of seats on their own and just control what happens in the House of Commons.

Dude, you're one of last people who should talk about someone's mistake they did a long time ago.
As the saying goes: people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones
Allowing 16 year olds to vote is great, and if that happens in Canada, we should also make sure that 16 year old voters (and all voters) are represented in parliament & have a voice.
We need proportional representation & the vote at 16!

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says he's going to cut income tax when elected, arguing that simply abolishing the carbon tax will not go far enough to fix Trudeau's affordability crisis.
@JJ_McCullough
1) Seat distribution is a terrible way to measure popularity, in my opinion, especially since FPTP leads to underrepresentation for the NDP.
2) They may not be the first option for the majority of voters, but same goes for all of the other parties.
@Mikeggibbs
I disagree with you on that one for sure. Hating people who hold different beliefs than you is completely wrong. You may disagree with conservatives regarding politics, like I do, but we need to respect them & we need to refrain from using divisive and closed-minded language.
@PierrePoilievre
Then that means you’re gonna cut a good amount of services in order to tackle the debt. Other than the dentalcare and pharmacare plans, which services or programs are you planning to cut? What will be proposed as an alternative that ensures people have their needs met?
A great article by
@maxfawcett
calling for the
@JustinTrudeau
government & the
@NDP
to implement the Single Transferable Vote, a wonderful proportional system that's a compromise for both political parties and will reduce polarization!
Reminder that Justin Trudeau and Pierre Poilievre are both currently against Proportional Representation.
They do not want our democracy to be more fair.
They do not want parliament to reflect the electorate as accurately as possible.
We need to hold them to account on that!
