It would be nice if Canadians would also stop voting for politicians who lead Canada in the same direction as the USA. We need to turn left, not right.
I’ve voted against conservatives in every election for 25 years and not once had the person I voted for won.
I’m WELL aware but feel absolutely powerless to do anything about it and since I’m not a god damned millionaire or even own my own business, no one gives a flying fuck about my opinions. And it’s always the conservative party that wins.
In the states you’ll have to find a state organization. Many states looking. Alaska put in a runoff system and successfully removed a famous unrepresentative pol.
When JT win and promised FPTP would end, then IMMEDIATELY turned 180 on it was my last straw of hope. Now my vote just feels like an absolute waste and a kick in the nuts. But I’ll keep voting, I don’t even know why but I recognize it as the absolute least of effort a citizen should do if they want to be a part of the place they belong.
It just sucks how much money matters more than anything else

I wish Canadians would realise they are voting for the same policies, but all the newspapers are owned by a Republican American, and they dont know.

Fair Vote Canada works hard against just that. That exactly. Making each and every vote matter in the legislature.
They work for very popular prortional representation.
