Canada is a great country run by idiots

[sumdumguy]

Throw in some vote counting machines that are programmable and a month of absentee and mail-in ballots and elections are fair? The fox is in the chicken coup and no one is smart enough to fix it.

Trump will be convicted as the evidence is rock solid and the plea deals with the co accused are proof of that.

I see some of the Trump supporters are promoting the same vote rigging bullshit in Canada.

No doubt if Crypto wins the vote will have been rigged! LOL

Canada has a far better independent electoral system than the US system which is full of gerrymandering and is a disgrace for a "democracy".

[blackpowder]

It's complicated but that democratic disgrace doesn't hold over half the nation without Senate representation.
Electoral college gives a degree of sway to each state.
Our system is the disgrace.
Power splitting influenced by 3 party positioning. First past post. No Senate. A national party in the House representing only one privileged province.
Let's clean up our own yard.
Some lessons in the neighbor's yard for us.

We need some sort of proportional representation that reflects the will of voters. I agree first past the post doesn't do it and is an archaic system. Many countries use some sort of proportional system. And it works well.

And having the same number of senators from North Dakota with a population of 780,000 compared to Texas with a population of 30 million is completely unrepresentative of voters.

Agreed. People advocating for equal representation per province forget that the 4 maritime provinces with a combined population of ~1/3 of the 3 prairie provinces would hold more power than the prairie provinces.

The only way I can see to enact equal representation s to divide the country into divisions according to (real) economic contributions to the country. No geographical area, or population size, or arbitrary provincial boundaries.

[chuckChuck]

"Economic contributions"! So the richer provinces per capita will have more votes? That will never fly even in your wildest dreams!
