BC election data shows 52% of voters stayed home. Global data shows all things being equal proportional elections have higher turnout than systems built solely on single-winner-ridings, because proportional representation means everyone feels they have a voice.

When first-past-the-post paints regions as single-party monoliths, regional division and polarization worsen. Proportional representation would reflect our political diversity, whether you are an Alberta Liberal or Quebec Federalist. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Well, well, well…. An analysis of voter registration records reveals Republican operative Scott Presler had 3 out-of-state voters use his Pennsylvania address to vote in the 2024 election. This is what voter fraud looks like.

People can vote for whoever they want, that's democracy. You didn't care about vote-splitting with the BC Greens when you rejected the all-party recommendation for an electoral reform citizens' assembly. You had your chance to reform the system, so whatever happens on election day is on you.

Supporters of the BC NDP and the Green Party share a lot of the same values. Strong public health care, protecting the place we call home, and asking the wealthiest to chip in more to build a stronger B.C.

Encouraging to see BC Conservative leader Lorne Doerkson open to proportional representation. As a former BC United MLA, he knows vote-splitting hurts the right. @davidebybc.bsky.social is the only leader ruling out PR, despite asking BC Greens to vote NDP for "shared values."

ctvnews.caResearcher who became sick after pesticide exposure asks government to follow scienceA Quebec scientist is petitioning the federal government to stop what he sees as a weakening of pesticide regulation and is asking them to follow the science.

WATCH: “In the 51 years I’ve worked on pesticides, this is the single most regressive proposal I’ve ever seen.” Elizabeth May warned the government this morning about dangerous pesticide control changes hidden in Bill C-30.

First-past-the-post forces Alberta’s entire right wing into a single party just to win elections. Under proportional representation, Pro-Canada Conservatives wouldn't be stuck sharing a party with separatists, giving Albertans a real choice in who represents them. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Less than a year after rejecting an all-party recommendation for an electoral reform citizen's assembly, David Eby is begging BC Greens to bail out the NDP, while keeping electoral reform off the table. See our write-up on this political cynicism: www.fairvote.ca/19/10/2026/d...

fairvote.caDavid Eby's last minute plea not to vote Green shows the voting system is broken. He could commit to fixing it.It’s not too late for David Eby and the BC NDP to commit to act on the recommendations of BC’s all-party committee on Democratic and Electoral Reform.

If you're a Alberta Liberal with a CPC MP, Toronto Conservative with a Liberal MP, or Quebec Federalist with a BQ MP, do you feel represented? Our single-winner system flattens diversity and deepens division. Proportional representation means you get the voice you vote for.
