It seems weird that they describe PR as vulnerable to fringe parties when we've got front row seats for two party FPTP allowing fascists to get all the power...

The title is a bit misleading based on his quote in the video.
This was the description contained in the video.
You're right, that is in the video description. The actual video shows Trudeau talking about it though and he doesn't say it's his biggest regret. He does say "I do wish we had been able to change the way we elect our governments in this country..." That is different than saying"My biggest regret is not changing the way we elect our governments in this country..."
I try not to editorialize the content, I just try to post it as is, while maximizing the information being presented.
That's totally understandable. I'm just pointing out for anyone that reads the comments that the source is a bit misleading. FWIW, I wish he did follow through on electoral reform
I wish he did follow through on electoral reform
Me too. That's why I advocate for proportional representation!
how quickly can voting systems change?
Unfortunately.... probably not fast enough for the upcoming election.....
