Fair Vote Canada on Bluesky

Proportional representation doesn’t just change how many seats a party wins, but where.

Whether you’re a Liberal in rural Alberta or a Conservative in downtown Toronto, you get the representation you vote for.

That’s why we love PR-it bridges our divides.

    Depends on which one of the flavours we’re talking about. I’m not an expert by any means, but my understanding is that, in general, we could go with the urban/rural approach by breaking up the city into smaller voting districts to reach some kind of acceptable balance in both the population across the city, and the number of MLAs across the region, just to somewhat balance out the urban and rural voices. How big should the rural regions be? I don’t know, cause it’ll be up to whatever census data that we know about the region.

    That said though, I never realized it but Barrie is somewhat special from what I can find online, in that it’s politically independent from the Simcoe county. So perhaps it can just continue to be independent from the county? I’m honestly not sure about what being politically independent actually entail.
