  • The last term was an excellent example of it not quite being two party, with the NDP pushing a liberal minority for some significant gains. It’s not nearly as good or democratic as it could have been, but I think it’s important for us to remember what ground we do still have. This election could be an opportunity to galvanized support for proportional representation with so many people voting liberal out of perceived necessity.

    It continuously astounds me than the NDP and Greens don’t make more noise about electoral reform.

    Agreed, but that just means we have to. Democracy is strongest when we’re engaged in more than just elections. Check out https://www.fairvote.ca/ to get involved.

    We started with a “zero paw rule” for tables. Our cat, ever the rascal, started to sit on our laps with his front paws on the table propping himself up. It was so cute we had to change it to “two paw rule”. That, of course, turned out to be a legal slippery slope.
