Liberals have vowed to kill the First Past the Post system (unilaterally - really?!). Well, what's happened over the last nearly 10 years? Lost elections by the Liberals even trying such desperate, banana republic measures to form coalitions in toppling previous winning and democratically elected governments, and going so far as to proposing "changing the rules of the game" as an integral part of the party's 2015 election platform....in time for the next election! WHAAAAAAT?!?!?
Since then, the Liberals have won a (shocking and suprise) majority - and all of a sudden the foot is not on the gas pedal anymore. The MP and "unofficial Canadian" Maryam Monsef (who must resign according to the Liberal's own interpretation of revoking citizenship based on lying or incorrect information on applications) even insulted an "all-party" committee on election reform during question period and its 400 page report that was "not good enough".
Maybe Canadians want to think really hard about this. The last election, the Liberals won 39.5% of the votes and 54% of the seats in the House of Commons. If proportional representation or a method linked to the popular vote is actually pushed ahead by the Liberals, then Ontario's agenda will win every time. Canada - do you want this?
Long Live "First Past the Post!"
