In proportional representation, who do I call when I have a local issue that is in a federal responsibility?

If you propose a mixed system, most are local MP with a few extra spread out amongst the other parties, what ridings do they represent?

There is no perfect system, but within a representative democracy where the regional concerns are diverse, unlike most European countries, Canada is the physical size of Europe, proportional representation will always over represent the needs of dense parts of the country.

But there are a lot more than two choices. If we went with instant runoff people would feel more comfortable voting for them.

There are way too many people talking about hypotheticals and trying to do “logical” thinking why attacking allies is a bad idea.

The powers in the USA are NOT LOGICAL. They are cutting social systems, they are tanking their stock market, causing irreparable harm to their economy, and military industrial system.

Talking about it like its “logical”, and coming from the USA where their media, the people that are supposed to know what’s going on and communicating it to the USA public is idiotic. They don’t even have the common curtesy to make sure that they have the corret titles and honorifics when talking to our leaders.

Fuck them all.

That was my first thought too. It was cold (for NM) last night so …

April fools, all of them.

That’s a fundamental misunderstanding to how representative government works. I know my MLA, and I agree how they will represent me in the Legislature. I also align well with the provincial NDP leader.

I don’t align at all with Jagmeet at this time. He has not shown that he is willing to do what’s best for Canadians. He had an opportunity to work WITH the Trudeau government and force through NDP platform. Instead he attacks the Trudeau government and on social media media sounds a lot like PP

I haven’t watch this video yet, but here’s the thing. When all my local NDP reps (federal and provincial) started only talking in the central NDP talking points and even talking about the “leader”, Mulcair and then to an expanded level with Jagmeet, I checked out.

I will still likely vote NDP for the provincially our representative is pretty great, but federally the Liberals would have to nominate a brain dead 25yo white tech bro for me to vote NDP, and that’s WITH a strong NDP candidate.
