Just over a year ago Alberta Premier Danielle Smith was whining about long ballots...How time flies⏱ For the upcoming referendum Oct19th make sure you get out and #VOTE. 10 (suspiciously convoluted) questions may not be as exciting as 200 names.. but we know Albertans are up to the challenge😀

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.

Spot on from @acoyne.bsky.social on CBC. First-past-the-post means a separatist party can win a majority with 30% and plunge us into a unity threatening separation referendum. Proportional representation means such decisions require broad majority consensus, not the whims of one party.

#C-25 is now law. From now on a voter caught nominating more than one candidate will be investigated and slapped with a max fine of $25,000...a (sad) effort by MPs to deny us the platform we use to point out MPs shouldn't be in charge of election rules because it's an obvious conflict of interest⚖️
