The drawing of electoral district lines has never been strictly about population.

I'm not sure, I'm still learning about the concepts. I suppose there's a way, but wouldn't there be cases in PR where a candidate who won their local race but didn't rank highly in their party might get bumped for a candidate from another party due to 'proportionality'?

Why PR instead of a ranked choice ballot?

Probably cyclists and pedestrians... Then we'll get blamed for being too poor to afford an AV.

The Forester is now the size of an old Outback, and the Outback is ballooning to the size of an Ascent. They're all bloated.

Is this AI ragebait or something? Your comment makes no sense and isn't relevant to the previous discussion.

That's what voting is for, not violence.

That requires everyone to get engaged at the local level of politics rather than getting sucked in to the federal and international garbage vortex.

I'm generally wary of anyone who threatens to use violence to silence or impose their views on others. Throwing down gloves because I tripped your goalie? Perfectly reasonable. Threatening a Dr. or MP because you disagree? Not in my Canada, thank you kindly.

People used to fear the social (local) consequences for behaving poorly in public. Now people deliberately film themselves doing it and get applauded by online jackals, encouraging them further. It's a downward spiral of radicalization.
