Why a Right-Leaning Government in New Zealand Built Bike Lanes—and Ontario Plans to Tear Them Down
That sub is so toxic. I fully support vote reform, though my preferred system is ranked choice/mixed member proportional. Any comments asking legitimate questions about how 100% proportion representation would work in Canada is shot down, and often deleted.
I'm not a fan of straight proportional representation, because it undercuts and devalues ridings and constituencies.
I'm not going to pretend to know the real solution though.
