Polling shows the PQ could win a majority with just 30%, the lowest vote share for a majority in Canadian history. First-past-the-post is broken. The PQ promises proportional representation in term one, but absolute power creates excuses. Holding them accountable starts now.

Text excerpt reading: "Just under a week out from the Oct. 5 election, Quebec's political landscape remains so divided that the PQ could nab a majority of the province's 127 seats with scarcely 30 per cent of the vote. It would be an unprecedented ending to an unusual campaign, in which none of the PQ's four opponents have been able to mount a compelling case against the sovereigntist party."

Fair Vote Canada volunteers talked to voters about proportional representation at Peterborough Pride!

A volunteer stands behind a folding table under a bright blue outdoor canopy tent in a grassy park. The front of the table features a white banner reading "Fair Vote Canada / Représentation équitable au Canada" alongside the slogan "Make Every Vote Count!" and website URL. On the table are informational pamphlets and two display posters showing pie charts comparing election results: one titled "Ontario votes 2025" and another titled "Federal Election 2025" covering Toronto and Saskatchewan. In the background, trees, sunny park grounds, and other event tents are visible.

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.

Proportional representation is talked about a lot, but how would this actually work in Canada? See our breakdown here. Single Transferable Vote (STV) fills seats using ranked ballots. Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) pairs local candidates with regional top up seats so every vote counts.

In 2025, Jivani received 35,000 votes to Girard's 32,000. Yet, first-past-the-post means only Jivani speaks for Bowmanville-Oshawa North. Proportional representation means both Liberal and Conservative voters get a voice in the riding instead of one voice speaking on their behalf.

"I was @jamiljivani's opponent in the last election. Retired after 31 years of work with the same employer, I served thousands of students & their families. My husband and I will celebrate 30 years of marriage this month. Our 3 adult daughters all finished school. We nursed our youngest through a critical illness. I have belonged to my current parish for the past 30 years and my home parish for 20 years before that. I am active in my community. None of this makes me better than he is, or anyone else is for that matter. I have been very fortunate in my life. But if by Liberal degeneracy he means defending equal rights, having compassion & loving the distinctive nature of Canada then I guess that we're guilty. His gaslighting imported culture wars are not helpful and frankly unbecoming of a Member of Parliament. #Bowmanville #Oshawa #Clarington"

First-past-the-post has locked Alberta into a rigid two-party map. With the NDP dominating cities and the UCP sweeping rural areas, the provincial election is decided by just a handful of suburban swing ridings. We need proportional representation so every vote matters.

An electoral map and results graphic for the 2023 Alberta general election under first-past-the-post. The main provincial map illustrates a stark urban-rural divide: vast rural regions are shaded blue for the United Conservative Party, while dense urban clusters in Edmonton and Calgary are orange for the Alberta New Democrats. Party results show the UCP won 49 seats with 52.56% of the vote, and the NDP won 38 seats with 44.02% of the vote. A legislature diagram shows a UCP majority. A small pie chart titled 'Vote vs. Seats Share' contrasts the current distribution with a hypothetical proportional representation system, where seats would closely mirror the provincial popular vote totals. Five inset maps at the bottom zoom in on the regional urban boundaries of Edmonton, Calgary, Red Deer, Grande Prairie, and Lethbridge to show the precise seat breakdown within those city centres.

Incredible to see proportional representation highlighted so much at rallies across Ontario this past Saturday. When governments win 100% of the power with only 43% of the vote, democracy fails. Ontarians want real accountability and a modern system where every ballot counts.

With @robcerjanec.bsky.social and @navdeepbains.bsky.social entering the Ontario Liberal leadership race, we urge them to back proportional representation. We must fix a broken system where the party came second in popular vote but a distant third in seats, while Ford won a majority on 43%.

An infographic titled "Ontario votes 2025" compares two pie charts to demonstrate the difference between the popular vote and the final seat distribution.

The first pie chart, titled "How we voted (popular vote)", shows the PC party at 43%, the Liberal party at 29.9%, the NDP at 18.6%, the Green party at 4.8%, and Other at 3.8%.

The second pie chart, titled "What we got (seats)", shows how those votes translated into legislative power: the PC party share increases significantly to 64.5% of the seats, the NDP gets 21.8%, the Liberal party drops significantly to 11.3%, the Green party drops to 1.6%, and Other drops to 0.8%.

MP Marilyn Gladu implies funding was tied to joining the Liberals. Though 29k locals voted Liberal, their voices were ignored because they did not win unless their MP crossed the floor. Proportional representation fixes this so governments cannot ignore your needs.

A screenshot of a National Post news article headline and excerpt from May 22, 2026, titled "Floor-crosser Marilyn Gladu reveals her conversation with Carney and the 'toxic environment' among Conservatives." The subhead reads, "'I'm moving forward and bringing that conservative voice into the (Liberal) tent,' said Gladu" by Stephanie Taylor. The article text describes Gladu approaching a minister on a "begging mission" to restore cut funding in her riding, where she was asked, "Sure, when are you coming over," leading to a discussion about crossing the floor.

Ford accidentally exposed how first-past-the-post rewards catering to a narrow base. Parties only need to win a few swing ridings to get a majority, even if most voters chose someone else. Proportional representation means governments must earn broad majority support.

A screenshot of a tweet from journalist Laura Stone, handle @l_stone.

The tweet text reads: "NEW: Ontario Premier Doug Ford tells reporters in Sault Ste. Marie he would 'never ever' put a separation q to his province. 'I'd never do it. Premier Smith knows how I feel. She wants to, I guess, protect her 30% base.' #onpoli #cdnpoli"

Our current system means labour rights can be dismantled by politicians without majority support when they become inconvenient. Proportional representation would ensure that no changes are made to labour rights without a broad majority consensus.

60% of Ontario voters did not vote for Ford's party. Yet, thanks to first-past-the-post, he has full power to hide records and evade accountability. Proportional representation would mean no changes to freedom of information without a genuine majority consensus.

A screenshot of a tweet by journalist Jack Hauen (@jackhauen) reporting on a political news story. The tweet text reads: "Ontario FOI freeze: Civil servants who process freedom of information requests have been told not to issue any new decisions or seek out new records from the government, according to documentation provided by a source. By @jessiecatherine. #onpoli". Below the text is a partial link to an article on thetrillium.ca.

Despite 58% of Canadian voters saying they would vote for another party, our electoral system means the Liberals could win a massive majority. Proportional representation ensures seats closely match the popular vote, meaning a party's seat share reflects its vote share.

An image by Polling Canada from May 15, 2026, details a Nanos federal poll showing the Liberals leading by about 104 seats.

A table projects popular vote and seats. The Green Party has 4% support and 2 seats (range 1 to 3). The NDP has 12% support and 14 seats (range 7 to 20). The Bloc Québécois has 6% support and 19 seats (range 14 to 24). The Liberal Party has 42% support and 206 seats (range 182 to 237). The Conservative Party has 33% support and 102 seats (range 79 to 126).

The post lists federal polling percentages and changes from the 2025 election: Liberal Party at 42% (-2), Conservative Party at 33% (-8), NDP at 12% (+6), Bloc Québécois at 6% (no change), Green Party at 4% (+3), and People's Party at 2% (+1).

The poll used telephone and online methods with 1,000 respondents and a 3.1% margin of error, directing users to 338Canada for more details.

Despite polls showing that 61% of voters would choose another party, Ford would still win a majority and the unilateral power to reshape the province. Proportional representation would mean an end to majority governments that lack majority support.

A screenshot of a post from TrendingPolitics.ca (@TrendPolCa) on X (formerly Twitter). The text reads: "NEW: Despite weeks of bad headlines over the private jet scandal, a new Leger poll shows @fordnation's PCs leading at 39% to the Liberals' 34% and NDP's 17%, suggesting Ford would still win a majority if an election were held today, writes @brianlilley — Toronto Sun"

Should a government without a majority of the vote be able to doom entire species to extinction? Proportional representation ensures environmental protections are built on broad majority consensus, not something to be ripped up when they become inconvenient.

A screenshot of a social media post by Emma McIntosh (@EmmaMci). The text reads: "From @althiaraj: The federal government’s proposal to legally allow projects to go ahead even if they result in an entire species going extinct is directed at projects that would affect endangered orcas in BC." Below the text is a partial link to a Toronto Star article.

The latest issue of Yellowknifer highlights the push for proportional representation at the spring trade show. Moving away from first-past-the-post means every vote actually counts toward the final result. Our democracy works best when the legislature reflects how people actually voted.

A composite image of the front page of the Yellowknifer newspaper dated May 13, 2026. The main headline discusses a financial lifeline for the Ekati mine. Several photos are featured, including a portrait of a smiling woman in a forest, two women sitting together on a couch, and a street view of Franklin Avenue. At the bottom, a photo shows two men, Jeremy Flatt and Eli Purchase, standing at a Fair Vote NWT booth during a trade show. They are holding a sign that says Ask Me About Proportional Representation and a humorous poster that says Vote for Conan. A QR code in the top left corner encourages readers to find local news online.
