CERB was a lifeline for many low-income Canadians, but for those deemed to have received an ‘overpayment,’ it has become an anchor.

Canada needs proportional representation. Or sell me on another idea but this FPTP doesn't seem to make sense. www.fairvote.ca/29/04/2025/c...
fairvote.ca
This is what a two party system looks like - Fair Vote Canada
Canada’s voting system is failing voters. Many voted strategically, motivated to block the other side from winning. The results leave us more divided than ever and closer to a two-party system.
