Yikes. That video could have a few edits and perfectly represent what went wrong in Britain.
PR is vital, as it makes sure everyone gets represented and parties have to deal with each other to shape policies. Even evil parties become useful, while angelic parties finally get a tiny say in things.
Problem... normaly you are good but you forgot three political party. The NDP, the Bloc Québecois and the Green Party (seems important). You should know that both Liberals and Conservatives are pro-Israel and supporting a genocide. Are you making this a detail?
Did you know Trudeau started the process but
when the parties can’t agree on how and what to implement it’s hard to get it through without the never ending it’s been partisan and not trusted by population
Co-written with Aaron @the-goose-media.bsky.social Make sure to watch his excellent video about why Canada desperately needs electoral reform... (as does the US and UK for that matter)
Portional representation is not the answer as proved by every political party that uses ranked ballot for leadership. Had the NDP or the Greens supported democratic reform, the 2019 election would have been a ranked ballot with no increase in the number of seats.
1. Canadien is spelled properly in one of our official languages.
2. Juice media is satire. Mostly Australian content, however usually relevant.
3. I hope you are having a nice day.
No…?
They changed it after the 🇦🇺 Conservative govt went after them over using the Coat of Arms or something; I don't remember the details but it was stupid, and contrived and Orwellian all around.
Real question is-->why are you taking a clearly satirical video to heart?
We all have bad days. I spent years on other social media trying to understand why all the garbage was being promoted and the news was lies, that sort of thing.
It’s not easy. However I want to believe this is a safer place for engagement. As one Canadian to another, don’t give up hope.
No disrespect intended, but I read somewhere ‘Canada’ was actually a first-nations word. From people that lived in the Montreal area, loosely translated as ‘this place’ or perhaps ‘village’. Described by Champlain I think?

This all left me extremely uncomfortable and just a little terrified tbh.
He suits Canadien, after all.
(Which is what spelchek does when faced with “Je suis Canadien.”)
The internet is a black hole for editors…
"Double PC Optimum Points!"

Two far-right options.

Election time - watch this

Poor timing at best.
Citizens assembly with a requirement for Gov to act on the recommendation seems the only way electoral reform happens in Canada.
The only way healthcare could drastically improve too.
Secondly, the Canadian government didn't make that video and never would make that video, it's a comedy sketch.
You made it, and are shopping it as a Canadian government ad.

Juice media stating on social media to a broad, and many ignorant audience, "this is a government of Canada ad" is irresponsible.
I realize my standard is above bare minimum.
If someone is falling for this as an actual government ad, they have bigger issues.
You underestimate the intelligence of our species.
But you ask my conservative friends, they will say something else, even if you fact check them.
These are strange times.
They don't pretend to be anything you accuse them of, and I won't even touch your comment about an "ignorant audience".
and thanks for letting me know this is a foreign op.

"Foreign op" lol.

This is why I don’t like most people pushing PR as they make it sound like a panacea.
When someone only espouses the good in something and ignores the bad I have a hard time trusting them.
And don't forget your home!
