I wonder if Eby still thinks implementing PR wouldn't be worth it? At least ranked choice. Surely he'd welcome some second choice BC NDP votes rn?

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.
When the Department of Homeland Security sent Nevada a list of 185 names last month that it claimed identified noncitizens who had been improperly allowed to register to vote, state election officials got to work.
On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.
"As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens," Greg D. Ott, a deputy attorney general in Nevada, wrote, according to a copy of a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security officials obtained through open records requests.
"You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise."Following the meeting, Ms. Vogt sent a clarifying email to Nevada officials. "I also wanted to be sure I clarified that we did not reduce the 15,903 to 185," she wrote. "We've manually reviewed some of the 15,903 and confirmed 185 are not U.S. Citizens."
Now, Nevada officials are saying even that 185 number is wrong. They also took issue with a letter D.H.S. sent them in early September, in which the agency reiterated its initial claims about nearly 16,000 noncitizens on the rolls and pressured state officials to review each case in a letter to Nevada officials in early September.

Indeed, I commissioned the song for the release of the book (i.e., paid Jonathan to write it and everything). I first heard it when I was doing an event at my old high school. Me and a bunch of teenagers sat around a table and became the first people outside Coulton's crew to hear it. I loved it.

As we enter another national unity crisis, warnings from the 1979 Pepin-Robarts Commission resonate. First-past-the-post exaggerates regional divides by turning entire provinces into one party monoliths. Proportional representation is the solution Canada needs.
Infographic titled "The 1979 Pepin-Robarts Commission: Why was it created?" Highlights 1970s Quebec sovereignty growth, the 1976 election of Parti Québécois under René Lévesque, and Pierre Trudeau's 1977 Task Force creation. Features map outline of Quebec and Parliament graphic.Infographic titled "Electoral Reform Recommendation: Fixing Regional Representation." Critiques First-Past-the-Post for harming unity and allowing seat majorities without vote majorities. Recommends Proportional Representation for accurate results, fairer representation, and stronger unity.Infographic titled "An Ongoing Debate: Why It Still Matters." Notes Canada still uses FPTP for federal elections. Highlights PR benefits: better reflecting the popular vote, improving regional representation, and encouraging cooperation between political parties. Includes Canadian flag.

Modeling shows the sovereignist PQ could win a Quebec majority with just 31% of the vote. Think about that: almost 70% of voters could support a different party, yet one gets 100% of the power. Demand proportional representation across the country today.

Very cool that Shopify’s CEO thinks the poor should have far less of a vote than the rich. Still worth that ad read money, folks?
Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke says “good system.” In response to the following proposal: 

“Interesting... what about weighted voting proportional to the level of income tax you pay? (no income tax paid - O vote, $1-100k - 1 vote, $100-200k 2 votes and so on... cap it at 5 votes for $500k+. For those that constantly complain about the wealthy not paying tax/fair share they'd have nothing to worry about right? Why not reward representation of taxation and build a democracy around those that foot the bill?”

This is so frustrating to me. Some app you vibecoded with Claude in 20 minutes from one prompt is not something "others can only dream of"! For context this is a comment on someone's vibecoded traffic simulation web app. I have problems with this 🧵
Post 1: With a single prompt, and 20 minutes of time - you've built what others can only dream of. Great work!
