Green Party Manitoba - Lac Du Bonnet

David Eby made an epic blunder in BC but, again, our outdated majoritarian electoral system (First Past the Post) has utterly missed the mark.

The popular vote would have given the NDP plus Greens a tiny lead. BC is locked into an anti-vax, climate change-denying, anti-trans government due only to a dysfunctional electoral system.

BC NDP Leader David Eby called an unnecessary election, gambling that they could secure more power while the BC Conservatives were ripping themselves apart with internal division. That hasn't worked out as planned.

Earlier, he broke a working arrangement with BC Greens by refusing to consider a Citizen's Assembly on Proportional Representation.

Now he's trying to scare Greens saying "The damage that a Conservative government would do would last for generations, and some of it would be impossible to undo." and asking them to use strategic voting, a feature of first-past-the-post electoral systems to defeat the Conservatives.

It is time to get rid of FPTP. Voting out of fear, against something you don't want, instead of voting your values, is not democracy. Taking a government down mid-term to try to secure more power is the opposite of working together to solve problems.

"Early estimate finds that Canada’s emissions increased in 2025 as clean electrification lagged"

The rest of the world is electrifying. Why, oh why, are we building power lines and gas turbines. Sacrificing future generations for short-term profit isn't good planning.

Québec election results are in. One of the smallest deciding popular vote shares in Canadian history.

The new PQ government at 28% popular vote (19% counting turnout) should not assume they have a mandate.

The CAQ ends up with 0 seats despite securing a higher popular vote than the QS with 9 seats.

FPTP doesn't work for a truly representative government.
