From the article:

Specifically, the Liberals and New Democrats agreed to explore:
  • Allowing an "expanded" three-day voting period during general elections;
  • Allowing voters to cast their ballots at any polling place within their riding; and
  • Improving the mail-in ballot process with both accessibility and maintaining integrity in mind.
Those all seem reasonable and good, but unfortunately don't address the much larger problem of the FPTP single member districts.
Worth repeating. Besides debt, crime economics and climate, ( the questions being asked by pollsters) and a self centered, center of the universe, division and polarization.

from a few days ago.


It should be noted that more accurately he walked away from it, because their preference( ranked ballots) which would see them in power indefinitely wasn’t what the electorate wanted.

I'm not sure the electorate has ever expressed a majority preference for anything but FPTP.
The people who spoke at the public consultations and the panel all preferred proportional representation of some kind.

Single Transferable Vote (what people keep erroneously calling "ranked ballot") was rejected by them but I think it remains one popular to the electorate.
Maybe not anymore, since Trudeau clutching at it and tanking other options may have tainted it for the general public - I haven't seen any polling on the issue for years.
(It would be good if it did lose support, although I fear the strategy of calling it "ranked ballot" may have tainted the view of all other methods using ballot ranking as well.)

Polling I have no clue. If I recall correctly they just didn’t receive a “clear consensus”..There’s a surprise :) It’s a struggle to get 65% voter turnout these days. That alone is a pretty clear indication something needs to change. What is apathy exactly?

I will say, I’m not surprised this is being tabled by the NDP. There are reasons certain parts of Canada always go to them.

There was a big poll a year or two ago that showed people want some kind of national assembly to make a better system and people want things like the government should have more than 50% of the vote and that seats should reflect the votes of the country better.

But they very carefully did NOT ask if people supported a Proportional Representation system (or which one).
That's always been the problem: people like the concept, but can't agree on the details.

If I recall correctly they just didn’t receive a “clear consensus”..There’s a surprise :)
Yeah, that's one of those things that is true, but bullshit.
If you frame it by asking what specific system people want, there is no consensus.
If you frame it by larger principles about what people want generally, there is more agreement.
Trudeau just had an answer he wanted, wasn't getting it, and fucked right off.

Third parties are almost the ones most interested in changing FPTP, especially if they have a badly distributed electorate.

The NDP would have had 60 seats by popular vote count in 2021 - they got 25.
In 2019 they should have had 54 - they got 24.
In 2015 they should have had 67 - they got 44.

It would be a huge deal for the NDP to get PR. I'm not at all surprised they've pushed even for these smaller reforms.

So let’s recap and sum up. As it stands.
-the cons rolling over Atlantic Canada ( I’d bet on some going orange instead)
-The NDP look to be picking up steam in Quebec.
-The center of the universe/liberal stronghold and as he said what decides things is a bloodbath
-The west is a bloodbath.
-The far west like liberals here disappearing. Likely more NDP

-It’s PeePees fault, it’s him pandering to Nazis, and the far right ad nauseum.
-The liberals are great just doing a fine job ad nauseum
-Anyone still think Singh might not flush them soon? Don’t know but it’s a real possibility.
Etc and so on.

Red. Flushed hard.
