minus-squareYogaOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up22·9 hours agoThe increased Liberal momentum has boosted the NDP’s chance to win my riding substantially so I’m definitely grateful for that. Carney seems like he’s open to electoral reform so hopefully this is the last FPTP election.

As far back as 1919, Liberals have campaigned on the promise of proportional representation”
