CRA accounts hacked after 28,000 social insurance numbers stolen in data breach in c/canada

Axe the Tax!

And get a weak, insecure, and underfunded CRA…

If you’re worried about gov'ts abusing the notwithstanding clause, you should be terrified that FPTP lets them do it with <40% of the vote. PR isn’t optional—it’s essential to protect our democracy in c/fairvote

…or, be terrified, but also take action and do something about it!

Also see: Simple things you can do right now, to grow the proportional representation movement—so we never have to vote for the lesser of the evils, have a two party system, "split the vote", or strategic vote.

As authoritarianism rises globally, Canada still hands majority power to parties with just 30–40% of the vote. We can’t keep risking our democracy like this. It’s time for PR—where every vote counts. in c/fairvote

This is why we need PR more than ever in Canada. We don't want to end up with a deeply divided electorate the way the US has. We are witnessing the destruction there in real time @fairvote.ca in c/fairvote

Great post from @davidcoletto.bsky.social on why the NDP vote is collapsing.

To it, I'd add this: We're seeing Duverger's revenge. Our electoral system is doing what his law suggests: polarizing the electorate between two major, competitive parties.

When first-past-the-post rewards one big-tent party, decisions stop being local.

Party leaders in Ottawa call the shots—and local candidates get sidelined.

Proportional representation would end the gatekeeping by letting diverse voices win without vote-splitting.

In the three days since we sent the email appeal below, with your generous support we are already 84% of the way to raising the money for 37 TV spots on CBC, CTV and Global news, including on the evening of the leader's debate!

If you can help us buy ad spots, please donate now so we can reach millions of people about proportional representation!

Chip in to help buy 37 TV ad spots for proportional representation on CBC, CTV, and Global!

With first-past-the-post, a party with only 39% of the vote can be handed 100% of the power.

We need leadership with a vision for a strong, fair, and inclusive democracy where every vote counts and parties work together for the common good!

To make progress on proportional representation, the party leaders and candidates need to hear now that Canadians care about it, while they're looking for our votes.

Fair Vote Canada would like to make the biggest ad buy we’ve ever made: 37 ad spots on CBC, CTV and Global, including on the evening of the leader’s debate!

With your generous support, we can make sure that millions of Canadians and our party leaders get the message.

Fair Vote Canada is a grassroots citizens’ campaign, supported by individuals who care about the future of our democracy. Everything we do is thanks to you!

Electoral Renewal Canada: IRV is a winner-take-all system that is similar to FPTP. You can see in Australia that, just like FPTP, IRV creates one-party majority gov'ts. STV is a better alternative. in c/fairvote
