If there’s a minority government, the @ndp.ca has a real chance to secure proportional representation—make it a condition of support.

More New Democrats in Ottawa means YOU are better off.

With 25 of us – 25 NDP MPs – we fought for the biggest expansion of health care in a generation. We brought you dental care & pharmacare.

These are concrete things that improve people’s lives.

If you elect New Democrats we will fight for you.

WEEKLY UPDATE: WEEK 3 OF CANADA’S 45TH FEDERAL ELECTION🚨

As Canada approaches its federal election, we're witnessing a surge in generative AI (GenAI) content that poses serious challenges to the integrity of our information ecosystem. 🧵⬇️ #GenAI #Deepfakes #CanadaElection2025

The image shows two graphs titled "Canadians' Concern About Misleading Information this Election."

The left graph displays trends over time (from December to April 8) showing concern levels about two types of misinformation:

• A yellow line representing "AI-generated misinformation" which remains consistently in the "Very concerned" range
• A purple line representing "General misinformation" which stays in the "Moderately concerned" range

The right graph shows a bar chart comparing concern levels between two age groups (represented by blue bars for "<40 yrs" and red bars for "40+ yrs") regarding:

• "AI-generated misinformation" - where older adults (40+) show higher concern levels than younger adults
• "General misinformation" - where both age groups show similar, moderate levels of concern

Both graphs use a vertical scale ranging from "Not concerned at all" to "Extremely concerned." The data suggests Canadians are generally more concerned about AI-generated misinformation than general misinformation, with older adults expressing the highest level of concern about AI-generated content.

Generative AI refers to tools that can create synthetic content, like text, images, videos, or audio, by analyzing large datasets. While useful, these tools can be misused to create fake content that’s hard to distinguish from the real thing.

This technology enables the creation of convincing fake media—photos, videos, and voiceovers—of people doing or saying things they never did. In this election, it's fueling confusion and disinformation.

Since the campaign began, we’ve seen numerous cases of GenAI being used to create fake content circulating across platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and X. These often include memes mocking politicians.

Despite the scale of AI-generated content, there's been minimal public discussion in Canada about its impact. Most conversations are centered on deepfakes and bots, often fueled by partisan debates over AI’s role in politics.

Surveys show Canadians are increasingly concerned about misleading information, especially among older generations. The rise of AI-generated content heightens this fear. … Canadians are encouraged to report suspicious content to our tipline. This helps us investigate and respond quickly to emerging threats. Don’t let disinformation disrupt our democracy.

Electoral Renewal Canada on Bluesky

Instant-Run off Voting is a winner-take-all system that is similar to First-Past-the-Post.

You can see in Australia that, just like FPTP, Instant Run-Off creates one-party majority governments at the expense of third party voters.

Proportional Single Transferable Vote is a better alternative.

Sarah Liorah Goodman on Bluesky

We need electoral reform. Proportional representation would make every vote count and eliminate progressive vote splitting — and any need for strategic voting. First past the post sucks, especially for progressive candidates

The image shows a comparison chart between two electoral systems: "First-past-the-post" and "Proportional Representation."

The chart is structured with two columns, with blue arrows pointing from left (First-past-the-post) to right (Proportional Representation), suggesting a progression or improvement.

The left column lists five characteristics of First-past-the-post systems:

• You are told to vote strategically to stop the worst outcome
• Parties with the most in common sling mud at each other
• Only voters in a few swing ridings really matter to the parties
• Millions of voters have no impact on the election result
• A party with a minority of the vote claims a "strong mandate"

The right column lists corresponding advantages of Proportional Representation:

• You can vote for what you believe in and your vote will count
• Parties are motivated to show voters they can work together
• Parties pay attention to every voter, no matter where they live
• Almost every vote counts to shape the next Parliament
• Parties know they will be working together for the common good

The image uses a blue border and blue arrows to guide the reader through the comparison.

Conservatives and Liberals call each other far-right and far-left—yet some of them also claim first-past-the-post keeps “extremists” out.

Is it really about extremism—or just silencing voices they don’t agree with?

Wild that people still argue against proportional representation when FPTP has wrecked the UK and US.

No surprise Canadians want closer ties with the EU—PR brings more stable governments and fewer economic self-inflicted wounds.

CARGA Update: Electoral Reform!

Today the BC Legislature officially struck a Special Committee on Democratic and Electoral Reform, to report back to the House by November 2025.

Full details in the screenshot 👇

#bcpoli

BC Green MLA Rob Botterell is on the committee, along with MLAs from the BC NDP and the BC Conservatives.

The public will have the opportunity to participate in the committee this summer, so stay tuned!

B.C. Green Caucus on Bluesky

"'One of the key approaches the Green Party sees in terms of building trust in government is moving [sic] proportional representation and so that's part of the mandate of the committee to look at, which is great,' BC Greens MLA Rob Botterell said."

Any good resources to determine which that will be for me?

Democratic reform

The Canadian Future Party will give Members of Parliament the freedom to speak their minds on every bill that goes before Parliament and we’ll introduce proportional representation for some of the seats in the House of Commons, making your vote count in Ottawa with a mixed member proportional system.

We know proportional representation is achievable because other countries have done it. Dialogue and compromise to reach a multi-party agreement is how most OECD countries achieved PR.

Unfortunately, since 2017, the Liberals haven’t been willing to come to the table.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been obstinate, unrelenting and ultimately decisive in his personal opposition to any form or degree of proportionality. As he stated in 2017 when he broke the promise, “It was my choice to make.”

A Poilievre false majority combined with new leadership in the Liberal Party could finally place a multi-party agreement on electoral reform within reach.

If the 39 Liberal MPs who bucked the party line when they voted for a National Citizens’ Assembly on Electoral Reform are any indication, it’s a conversation many Liberals are ready to have.
