Canada’s economic resilience depends upon its climate resilience
Canada’s National Adaptation Strategy provides the basis for supporting greater coordination and accountability, but we have yet to see it advance in a meaningful way.

Alberta separatism isn’t just an Alberta problem. It’s a sign of a much deeper issue in Canadian politics
The collapse of political competition and winner-takes-all mentality has allowed fringe elements to hijack mainstream political parties.

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.
Title slide reading "MAKING CANADIAN ELECTIONS FAIR: Understanding Single Transferable Vote (STV) & Open-List Regional Mixed-Member Proportional (MMP)". Includes a vote graphic pointing to a pie chart of people, with a "LEARN MORE" button.Graphic explaining Single Transferable Vote (STV), a proportional system using ranked ballots in multi member ridings electing 3 to 7 members. Diagrams show voters ranking candidates, votes transferring to fill quotas, and seats filled fairly.Graphic explaining Mixed-Member Proportional (MMP), a two-ballot system combining local representation with regional proportionality. Diagrams show Vote 1 for local candidates and Vote 2 for open regional list top up seats to ensure fair results.Comparison slide titled "TWO PATHS. ONE GOAL. A Fairer, More Representative Canada." Summarizes STV using ranked ballots in multi member ridings and MMP using local and regional votes. Concludes that both proven systems provide fair representation.

The BC Liberals' choice to ignore '05's PR-STV vote, run a cynical '09 do-over, and oppose proportional representation in '18 set up today's splinter party. These parties can either keep cannibalizing and collapsing each other, or back proportional representation to compete on their own terms.
Screenshot of a CBC News article headline that reads: "British Columbia. 5 ex-B.C. Conservative MLAs now forming new party."

Under first-past-the-post, transparency and accountability is an honour system for majority governments without a majority of the vote, honoured only until inconvenient. Proportional representation forces broad accountability instead of just farming votes in key swing ridings.
