The best way to protect ourselves against an authoritarian takeover is to end a system that lets parties take total control with just 40% (or less) of the vote.
That’s why it’s time to implement proportional representation across Canada.
Ranked choice voting within each riding would be a good compromise that I think most of the country would be ok with. Plenty of us still like having a local representative chosen by locals.

You can have both ranked voting, local representation chosen by locals, and proportional representation under Single Transferable Vote (STV)!
