Fair Vote Canada on Bluesky
Proportional representation doesn’t just change how many seats a party wins, but where.
Whether you’re a Liberal in rural Alberta or a Conservative in downtown Toronto, you get the representation you vote for.
That’s why we love PR-it bridges our divides.

Proportional representation (or lack thereof) isn’t a left or right, liberal vs conservative issue. It’s a Canadian issue, and in the face of threats from the south, we need to stand united🍁
Is there anywhere else that’s switched to proportional representation, run-off voting, or similar from FPTP? How does it affect things like regional representation. Seems like it creates instances where the candidate from some ridings gets a seat with fewer votes than the other candidate. I think the urban/rural divide is only going to get worse as technology leads to more migration to urban areas even though it’s the rural population that’s taking care of the fundamentals in our economy.
In the case of Alberta, 35% of our seats in the last federal election would have been Liberal or NDP under proportional representation. That’s also including the fact that rural (conservative) ridings tend to have about half the people in them as urban ridings, so the rural votes effectively count for twice as much as the urban ones.
It’s so frustrating living here.
With another country threatening to annex us, this is about the last thing I feel we should be focusing on. Won’t do much fucking good if we don’t have a country.
Countries with pr perform better on every issue:
