Every group should be represented in parliament. It is undemocratic to prevent the smaller parties from being represented. The big parties are not immune to extremist takeovers, in elections they only need 30% of the vote in some cases. Look at Pierre Poilievre, he is calling for an election when only a minority support him, he understands that by constantly attacking the other candidates in first past the post system he gains politically.

If you want to reduce the extremist smaller parties, campaign against them and knock on doors. Do it the fair way.

Imagine if all the parties focused on what they can do for Canadians instead of attacking the other guy, that’s what occurs under proportional representation. We need more compromise and collaboration in our governments.
