He should’ve passed proportional representation with the smaller parties but he instead pushed for instant-runoff voting which is often called “ranked choice voting”

...citing a lack of consensus across party lines.

Way to leave out the the key quote. I can already picture the angry spittle on peoples screens. Everyone likes to omit the bigger picture for "trudeau bad" rhetoric purpose. He couldn't unilaterally change the way elections are done. He's not a dictator. Unless you actually want prime ministers to be dictatorships.

That key quote is mostly bullshit.

The study resulted in a clear recommendation for MMP, with a few options as to how to implement it. Most of the other parties in the parliamentary committee said they'd agree with recommendations. Then Trudeau said "No we're not doing that, we're going to go with ranked ballots or nothing at all."

So the only lack of consensus was that Trudeau personally wanted something other than what the experts said would be best for Canada.
