Polls about electoral reform tend to be responded to by people who care deeply about electoral reform, there's a huge sampling bias there

Your last paragraph is provably false, there is plenty of good information out there and there has been for a long time, yet people are less informed and more ignorant than ever.
And again, someone who would agree to participate in a citizens assembly, even if the person is randomly selected, will tend to not be representative of most people because most people would decline to participate.
You don't really need complicated control theory for HVAC (at least, on a per-room or house basis) , since the system has such a huge heat capacity and takes a long time to change. Simple set point control with 100% on/off operation and a 2 degree dead zone gets the job done
30% of income spent on housing is a perfectly reasonable number
Like it or not, the average Canadian would rather their representative be chosen by local votes, not based on national proportions. I'm not saying it's ideal, I'm saying it's realistic.
"Citizens assemblies" do not tend to include normies who aren't tuned into politics, and so tend to just be another socially isolated bubble
Fairvote showing yet again that it's run by a bunch of idealists who have never talked to someone outside of their bubble.
Canadians like local representation chosen by local elections, whether you agree with the "fairness" of the outcome or not. Ranked choice ballots are the only option that will have the broad support needed to be implemented.
After an L like this, I don't think Harris makes it to the 2nd primary debate
If anyone wants some good rage material, watch the Pod Save America interview with Harris staffers
2 of those examples are 6 years old, and the other is turning 10 soon
