Monday’s Québec election offered one of the most egregious examples of first-past-the-post failure in modern Canadian history. We must be rid of this broken system, which gives far too much power with far too little of the vote, writes @christoaivalis.bsky.social.

The fabled ancient cities weren't defeated because the enemy breached the walls but because of traitors on the inside. Collusion of the PQ and Alberta separatists as US military plans promote breaking our country from the inside must be taken seriously. charlieangus.substack.com/p/this-is-ho...

Alberta separatists are teaming up with Republicans to try to break up Canada. We can’t have a serious conversation about protecting Canadian sovereignty without addressing this very real threat. The NDP will keep pushing to protect Canadians from American interference in our politics.

We analyzed some of Ford’s most controversial Toronto decisions and found they all target safe opposition ridings. Under first-past-the-post, unneeded ridings get sacrificed. Proportional representation ensures votes everywhere build seats, so no community can be steamrolled.
Infographic showing Doug Ford's targeted decisions affecting Downtown Toronto. A map marks bike lanes on Bloor, Yonge, and University, Billy Bishop Airport, and Ontario Place in opposition held ridings. Icons repeat these targets, stating safe opposition seats do not help Ford's majority, so they are sacrificed for suburban swing ridings.

The oil industry is unwilling to pay for this pipeline because even they know the world is moving away from fossil fuels. This project leaves Canadians bearing all the risks of a bad investment without any of the rewards.

Elections must not be decided by a few swing ridings. First-past-the-post has plunged the US into chaos through hyper-polarized two-party politics, disproportionate majorities, and regional one-party domination. Proportional representation is how Canada avoids that fate.
Graphic showing a post from Scott Robertson (@sarobertson_) quoting Bob Rae on fighting for democracy. Rae states that protecting democracy is the battle of our lifetime, comparing it to the effort during the Second World War, and emphasizes that we have to fight again.

Straight up if these orcas die, I will never forgive this government. It’s genuinely devastating to contemplate — and make no mistake, the west coast pipeline and port expansion WILL kill them. We have to draw the line somewhere and these orcas deserve to have us fight for them.
