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.

FPTP is outdated and dangerous as you all have pointed out. The PR referendum was rejected because voters did not understand exactly how PR would work, and the explainers did a poor job of making it understandable. The key to getting PR adopted is ensuring people see the benefits over FPTP.

Carney should be questioned on this and be reminded that predecessor Justin Trudeau PROMISED to SERIOUSLY consider electoral reform but lied and made an appalling bad-faith farce of the panel charged with looking into it. FPTP erodes Canadian values, Ranked Ballot + Proportional Rep bolsters them.
