The #charterchallenge is a hot topic lately -- Dr. Beatty’s article spurred this response in the National Post. We appreciate the coverage. Electoral reform conversation is alive and well in Canada. #proportionalrepresentation #erre nationalpost.com/opinion/col…

History has taught us that we can’t always depend on elected politicians to stand up for civil rights. That's why we began organizing a court challenge against our broken voting system.⠀

A third of voters plan to vote strategically in the upcoming election according to a recent poll.
When that many voters don't feel safe voting for what they believe in, we have a problem. That's one reason why we plan to challenge first-past-the-post in court. Follow along ⬇️

In 2015, 52% of voters cast ballots for candidates that didn’t end up in Parliament.
The majority of Canadians are not represented in the House of Commons.
That's a problem - a problem we plan on asking Canadian courts to help solve.

52% of Canadian voters didn't vote for anyone who sits in Parliament. We're asking the courts to intervene. Here's a great article from @A_MacLeod_Tyee in @TheTyee that explains our case.

I just gave a bunch of money to this @Challenge4FV campaign for a charter challenge to Canada's outdated #FPTP voting system
I'd like to stop fighting individual political battles & just have a system that better delivers the will of the electorate.
