On May 31st Canadian Parliamentarians will vote on whether to accept the recommendations of the #ERRE Committee.
Tell your MP what *you* want.

The Trudeau Government spent millions on the much lampooned My Democracy survey (far more than on the ERRE Committee’s cross Canada Consultation… and then the Trudeau Government said Canadians didn’t want Proportional Representation!
The survey (deliberately ?) didn’t ask for specific electoral systems, but contrary to Government claims, by far the results supported adoption of some form of Proportional Representation as in the above pie chart.

“2015 will be the last election using First Past The Post.”
—Justin Trudeau, 2015
A Liberal friend assured me that, since the Liberals believe in evidence based policy, this *had* to mean we would end up with Proportional Representation.
And she was right: even though the ERRE Consultation was woefully underfunded and the lions share of the outreach was left up to ordinary Canadians DIY community dialogue and information sharing, even though the ERRE Committee recommended Proportional Representation… and then Prime Minister Trudeau pulled the plug.
Every issue Canadians have will benefit from Proportional Representation, which is why we need it back on the table. On May 31st Parliament will vote on whether it will accept the ERRE Committee Recommendation.

Proportionality isn’t just about political parties, it’s about all sorts of representation.
