PR makes sense and would get more people voting because your vote would make a difference.  PR would better reflect the diversity of values that we as Canadians claim to hold dear and close to our sociopolitical hearts.  Implementing PR in Canada is that hard part.  The funny thing is that it really should not be so hard is it is made out to be.

www.fairvote.ca already exists.  A structure is in place to let the voices for PR to be heard on Parliament Hill.  If enough people join the Fairvote cause and they let their MP’s know they want PR it will happen.  Simple.  End of story.

What is missing is fact that people are systematically steered away from organizing and coming together (thank-you corporate media).  The current established parties have no interest in seeing PR in Canada as it would hinder their goal of staying in power.  PR is a tough sell to either the Conservative or Liberal Party as both have prospered under the current first past the post system.   They rightly wait for the fuss and bother of electoral reform to go away until next election time.

If you don’t like the current system then do something about it.  Do nothing and nothing will change.  Start with www.fairvote.ca and see if you agree, write to your MP, talk with someone else about electoral reform.   Do not let your indolence vote in your stead; the established parties are counting on it.Voting
