Let's strengthen our community while supporting democratic reform! Every new member counts—just like every vote should count in our electoral system.

Doug Ford’s entire campaign was based on a promise he would save us from Trump.

Who will save us from Ford?

It may surprise you (or not) that most countries we consider democracies, like India or the United States, are actually deemed flawed democracies. For full democracies, you'd have to look rather to Canada, Japan, or European countries like Spain and the United Kingdom.

Very little of the world's population lives in a full democracy today, and Latin America is no exception. Citizens of the region's largest country, Brazil, live in a flawed democracy marked by widespread polarization and corruption.

The @ontarioliberal.bsky.social and @bonnieforontario.bsky.social refused to commit to proportional representation.

Now they’re calling themselves “the People’s Opposition” after being shortchanged by the system they’ve upheld.

Instead of this cynicism, commit to making every vote count.

Pierre Poilievre has kicked the media off the campaign trail — what is he hiding?

“This week, the Conservative Party leader said he’s a tough guy on Tuesday and told the world he’s afraid of reporters on Wednesday.”

Cult MTL on Bluesky

“Canadians would be wise to reconsider what qualifies as election interference, because the danger might be closer to home than we think. We should also reconsider the social media platform that Elon Musk hijacked. Maybe it’s time, once and for all, to log off.”

Alt text: Infographic titled "A Simple Guide to Electoral Systems" with a light blue background. At the top, a highlighted box states: "In a healthy democracy, citizens are deserving of and entitled to representation in government. Only proportional representation can dependably get you there."

The content is organized in two main columns. The left column labeled "Winner-Take-All Systems 🚫" (in red) describes First-Past-The-Post (FPTP) used in Canada/USA where the candidate with most votes wins but many votes don't elect anyone, and Instant-Runoff Voting (IRV) which uses ranked ballots but still wastes votes.

The right column labeled "Proportional Representation ✓" (in green) describes Mixed-Member Proportional (MMP) used in Germany/New Zealand where voters cast ballots for both local candidates and parties, and Single Transferable Vote (STV) used in Ireland which uses ranked ballots in multi-member districts. Both proportional systems ensure the percentage of votes equals percentage of seats.

A blue band across the middle highlights "Systems using Ranked Ballots: IRV and STV."

The bottom contains three gray boxes stating: "Which electoral system is best? If you care about democracy, proportional representation is the way to go," "Which political parties support proportional representation? Only Green🟢/NDP🟧/RPC🟨 consistently support proportional representation," and "Share this with a pro-democracy friend!"
