The image is an infographic titled "The Liberal's Broken Promise: Electoral Reform" that displays a vertical timeline with colored dots and information boxes chronicling electoral reform events in Canada.

The timeline shows six key events:

  1. June 2015 (pink dot): Campaign Promise - Justin Trudeau pledges: "We are committed to ensuring the 2015 election will be the last election using first-past-the-post."

  2. October 2015 (blue dot): Election Victory - Liberals win a majority government with 39.5% of the popular vote, securing 184 seats (54% of the House of Commons).

  3. June 2016 (light blue dot): Special Committee Created - The Electoral Reform Committee (ERRE) is established to study options. The committee conducts consultations across Canada.

  4. December 2016 (red dot): Committee Recommendations - The ERRE recommends proportional representation. 88% of electoral experts consulted favoured proportional representation.

  5. February 2017 (blue dot): Promise Abandoned - PM Trudeau abandons electoral reform, claiming "no consensus" despite clear committee recommendations and public consultations.

  6. October 2024 (black dot): Looking Back - Trudeau admits he should have "immediately shut down talk about proportional representation" and that Liberals were "deliberately vague."

Below the timeline is a "Key Statistics" box showing:

  • 63% of voters cast ballots for parties promising electoral reform
  • 80% of town hall participants asked for proportional representation
  • 71% wanted parties to govern together

The infographic includes a Creative Commons license icon in the bottom left corner and a QR code in the bottom right. The footer cites sources: House of Commons Special Committee on Electoral Reform, Fair Vote Canada, Policy Options.

I'm in Poilievre's riding. My buddy who is so hardcore left, he votes communist, is actively campaigning to get the Liberal here elected.

Call out to Bruce Fanjoy. I have no idea who you are, or what you look like, but I'm voting for you to kick the smug asshole out of government.

Fanjoy is getting a lot of support. He actually gives a shit about the riding, unlike pp who is only using it as a stepping stone.

That's good to hear. Since we may be stuck with him for 5 years.

But TBH, I would vote for a sack of potatoes right now if it had a red L on it.
