    "A Supreme Court that doesn't give a damn what the public wants ... is exactly what a Supreme Court is for, actually."

    True enough. But elected representatives in government *are* supposed to do what people want, that's why they get elected. If they had fulfilled their obligations to actually represent the citizens' wants then the Supreme Court wouldn't have to act at all.

    It all boils down to a need for #ProportionalRepresentation with multi-member districts so all views are represented in goverment.

    It's actually the winner-take-all system that tends towards a two-party system. If there are eight parties running in one riding, but only one can win a seat, then people vote for the candidate most likely to win, rather than the candidate who will best represent them. That results in poor representation -- up to 7/8 of the voters may have cast a ballot for someone not elected, and when this is repeated riding after riding you get false majorities with as little as 12.5% of the vote. #ProportionalRepresentation can fix this with larger ridings and multiple candidates elected, who have to share the power (ie. coalition). !ElectoralReform

    @indi I'm hoping for the best. @MaryamMonsef started as an !ElectoralReform supporter, and I suspect she wasn't happy toeing the party line. Same for @HonStephaneDion, and now they've both been removed from their Cabinet positions. I hope @KarinaGould will stay true to her ideals, resist the Liberal Party's pressure to bury the !ElectoralReform issue, and follow through on the #ERRE committee report by proposing a form of #ProportionalRepresentation.

    Need #ProportionalRepresentation to reflect the will of the voters. US #ElectoralCollege doesn't do it, nor Canada's #FPTP !ElectoralReform
