When I hear, "Electoral reform can't happen bcuz the parties can't agree," the conclusion is simple: the parties shouldn’t be in charge of electoral reform. It’s hard to fathom just how much better a democracy designed by voters for voters could be❤️

Did electoral reform die with Trudeau’s broken promise and recent resignation or will one of his replacements mention it as a priority? They’ve been awfully silent so far…

I will legitimately apply if I hit it by January 23rd. If I do not, all funds will go to animal welfare charities across Canada.

In today’s @TorontoStar, @JohnLorinc correctly identifies who gets to make election rules (last election’s winner) yet fails to problematize this giant conflict of interest. Who would change a system which brings them to power? That’s a problem!

He’s all the other candidates combined! Liberals, don’t let this fish slip away!
✅Never held a seat

Crazy opinion I know @ElectionsCan_E, but 91 candidates taking our electoral system to its “breaking point” probably says more about how ill-suited our democracy is to genuine participation than it does about how dangerous we are 🤔

Update: parliament prorogued, PROC disbanded, and bill C-65 is ☠️.
Because election rules are for MPs to decide (rather than an independent nonpartisan body) it’ll take years before any new changes to the Election Act can be implemented

Welp we clearly hit a nerve. MPs are now considering making “inciting others to nominate more than one candidate” illegal 🙃

Replying to @baranskocracy
I support the longest ballot protest because the sheer rage it induces in Liberal MPs and staffers is more effective at pushing for electoral reform than anything else has been. The longest ballots will continue until morale improves.
