If Pierre Poilievre becomes Prime Minister of a majority govt with only 40% or less of the vote, it will be Justin Trudeau and the Liberals fault for not implementing Proportional Representation when they promised to.

If Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives go on to win a super majority government with only 40% of the vote as currently projected, just remember it all started with this promise being broken.
As Prime Minister, I’ll make sure the 2015 election will be the last under first-past-the-post system

When you promised to end first past the post in 2015, you clearly said proportional representation would be considered.
Do people who voted Liberal in 2015 on the basis it would lead to PR have a right to feel duped?

Get involved in the Proportional Representation movement, keep that momentum going, and together we can end First Past the Post once and for all.

No, what's actually happened is the German far-right is largely contained in one racist party with no influence on anything.
Compare that with members of Canada's official opposition calling Trudeau a dictator who could get into govt with 40% of the vote.
PR doesn’t stop right-wing extremism. In fact, in countries like Germany, it has made the problem worse because the system legitimized far-right parties once they reached the threshold for seats.

Actually, Ford is proof that garbage voting systems elect trash political leaders.
Wanna dump Douggie? Then first start with tossing out the electoral system that gave his government unchecked power: First the Post.
Doug Ford is proof voters get the government they deserve.
Ontario is led by what Jamaicans call a “wasteman,” which is what happens when your electorate is apathetic, has a short memory, or doesn’t care.
