Statement:

Canadians are done with the first-past-the post system as it favours the powerful few over the needs of the many, forcing folks to often choose between 2 bad choices at the ballot or their vote is spoiled. We cannot continue with first-past-the-post as it enables corrupt politicians to vote against a fairer electoral system that would represent 95% of the vote instead of 40%. Canadians deserve a electoral system that will allow them to vote for their favourite candidate and to hold the government accountable without having to vote for the most popular opposition in order to fire the corrupt MPs of the government.

We need to build up the pressure and force the corrupt MPs to listen to the voices of everyday Canadians.

Here's what you can do:

Send a letter to your MP and demand they support proportional representation and advance electoral reform immediately. (Letters do not require stamps)

Use Open Parliament to watch their next moves.

Use 338Canada to watch the polls.

Protest against them on the streets.

Hold strikes demanding proportional representation be passed without a referendum, try to push for a national general strike.

Vote them out.

Bring the topic of proportional representation up when meeting with them in person.

Talk to your family, friends and neighbours about proportional representation.

We have more than a year to pass proportional representation, so lets get it done before the next election and force the corrupt MPs to do the right thing and make our democracy fairer.
