Would PR have fixed this, though? Or could those votes for Mike Morrice, who worked hard for his riding and deserved another session in Parliament, simply have gone to elect some other Green in a floating seat?

With a fixed number of seats, we can't all get the representatives we want. Members of a party are not fungible.

I think a lot of people would feel free to vote for the representative they truly want instead of feeling forced to vote strategically against someone they don't want

That doesn't really address my point. Yes, voting patterns would have been different. But lets say this is how the vote turned out.
