Jack Layton made the clear case for PR during the 2011 Leaders Debate. Will any leader have the courage to say the same tonight? 14 years later, Canadians are still waiting for when every vote counts. (bsky.app)

Jack Layton made the clear case for proportional representation during the 2011 Leaders Debate.

Will any leader have the courage to say the same tonight?

14 years later, Canadians are still waiting for a democracy where every vote counts.

The skepticism is understandable after Trudeau's 2015 broken promise. But there's a difference between parties - Green🟢, NDP🟧, and some independents consistently support proportional representation.

That's why I focus on supporting candidates who champion PR, rather than parties who've repeatedly demonstrated they won't deliver. Cynicism is a natural response, but it's not a solution.

Public support for PR is at 68%. The question isn't if we'll get proportional representation, but when. And that depends on us continuing to advocate despite past disappointments.
