Canada’s voting system is a pre-democratic hold-over and it remains in use because it serves those that benefit from it.

We the undersigned Canadian citizens demand the following basic democratic rights: to cast an equal and effective vote and to be represented fairly in our federal and provincial legislatures, regardless of one’s political beliefs or place of residence; to be governed by fairly elected legislatures in which the share of seats held by each political party closely reflects the popular vote; to be subject to laws legitimately approved by a majority of elected legislators representing a majority of voters.

Our goal is to help Canadians make informed decisions.

In a democracy – and especially in a crisis – citizens need to feel represented. With our election delivering a deeply divided result, let’s ask: should we elect for proportional representation?
