Or... more likely, you'll end up with a two-party system as well. America had more than two parties in the past, but FPTP made sure that once a party dissolved, it would be impossible to create a new one with any sliver of a chance.
We have four major one, one small one and another small one without a seat. The Bloc was created in the 90s, green in the 80s, PPC in 2018...
Doesn't seem too worrisome.
With Duverger's Law (i.e., in non-PR electoral systems, a trend towards a two-parties), we are running out of time to act. Canada's 2021 effective number of parties is 2.76 - this number will decrease over time, and will eventually end Canadian democracy as we know it today.
This trend is very concerning in our country. We need to have more regional parties and to pressure all our elected mps that electoral reform is an important issue.
