Mark Carney is rapidly remaking Canada's economy (shock-doctrine-style) to supply "The World" with resources. But they aren't his to sell. I spoke to CBC Front Burner about the deals behind the flag waving. @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social

Fair Vote Canada 🗳️🍁 @fairvote.ca · 24/08/2026
The US offers a terrifying glimpse into our future if we fail to end winner-take-all voting. Hyper-partisan politics, regional domination, wrong-winner outcomes, and single-party majorities enable authoritarian shifts. Without proportional representation, we remain vulnerable.

In national elections, policy platforms should address everyone, not just voters in key swing regions. First-past-the-post encourages hyper targeted campaigning while leaving whole communities behind. Switching to proportional representation builds a truly inclusive country.
Infographic titled Who Really Decided the 2025 Election? First-Past-The-Post. Visual showing 19.6 million Canadians voted, but red text highlights that less than 0.5% decided the outcome of the election.Infographic map asking Where Were These Close Ridings? Highlights Ontario, British Columbia, and Quebec. Notes that 99.5% of voters under First-Past-The-Post lived in safe ridings or cast non impacting ballots.Infographic titled The PR Solution: Why Proportional Representation Matters. Details three points: every vote counts equally, every voter gets representation, and parties must campaign across all of Canada.
