Its some proportional vote system

2019-09-18 15:28:22 UTC  

yeah

2019-09-18 15:29:24 UTC  

if we're going to get electoral reform it should be to take seats away from Ontario and Quebec and give it to the less populated provinces

2019-09-18 15:29:42 UTC  

Interesting idea

2019-09-18 15:29:56 UTC  

but the NDP just want to make all their miniscule support add up

2019-09-18 15:31:13 UTC  

the power especially needs to be taken away from quebec

2019-09-18 15:31:29 UTC  

Quebec has too many seats?

2019-09-18 15:31:36 UTC  

like just look at how scared the leaders are of touching bill-21

2019-09-18 15:31:44 UTC  

What's Bill 21?

2019-09-18 15:32:08 UTC  

it makes it so no governmental official can wear a religious symbol

2019-09-18 15:32:15 UTC  

Oh that

2019-09-18 15:32:17 UTC  

the religious symbol ban

2019-09-18 15:32:32 UTC  

yeah

2019-09-18 15:32:41 UTC  

they don't want to touch it

2019-09-18 15:32:52 UTC  

becasue nobody wants to lose quebec

2019-09-18 15:32:59 UTC  

True

2019-09-18 15:33:11 UTC  

I do think Quebec is too important in Canadian politics

2019-09-18 15:33:24 UTC  

yeah

2019-09-18 15:33:38 UTC  

I understand that they have a high population but still

2019-09-18 15:33:43 UTC  

so does ontario

2019-09-18 15:34:12 UTC  

you don't see trudeau scared of forcing a carbon tax on ontarians

2019-09-18 15:35:03 UTC  

I think its also due to their unique culture and stuff
Also the seperation movements too

2019-09-18 15:35:27 UTC  

if they decide to leave, we conquered them once, we'll do it again

2019-09-18 15:35:45 UTC  

and if they do, no more official bilingualism

2019-09-18 15:36:45 UTC  

So they want to change to the system used by the EU, a paragon of democracy

2019-09-18 15:37:09 UTC  

The MEPs is the main democratic thing of the EU i guess

2019-09-18 15:37:16 UTC  

well in defense of the system, the EU isn't undemocratic for the voting system it uses

2019-09-18 15:37:16 UTC  

I dont know much about their system

2019-09-18 15:37:24 UTC  

Ik there are some undemocratic parts

2019-09-18 15:38:16 UTC  

yes, but its not undemocratic in how the people elect the MEPs

2019-09-18 15:39:02 UTC  

Just in how much power the MEPs have.

2019-09-18 15:39:12 UTC  

yeah

2019-09-18 15:40:08 UTC  

But wouldn't be surprised if that human rights commission thinks, hey the EU also has a commission making all the choices. Let's do that

2019-09-18 15:40:25 UTC  

the problem I have with the NDP's electoral reforms is that two provinces already have disproportionate power in our parliament and the NDP want to give them more power

2019-09-18 23:23:31 UTC  

Well if all the loser provinces had more people they would have more power

2019-09-18 23:23:59 UTC  

Also I can't believe that I just called Quebec a winner provenance

2019-09-18 23:28:44 UTC  

Figured this would go here too, even though it was just posted to <#622430408377630761>.

2019-09-18 23:28:47 UTC  

Because... Canada.

2019-09-18 23:35:56 UTC  

Ruh roh for Trudeau

2019-09-18 23:36:20 UTC  

I bet he's gonna be C A N C E L L E D
