    Most of Ontario didn’t vote for this, but got Doug Ford anyways thanks to winner-take-all first-past-the-post.

    We need a citizen’s assembly on electoral reform and to pass their recommendation.

      Yup, first-past-the-post strongly pushes two primary parties polarizing politics to just the right and left with no nuance on individual issues. Then both sides end up being corrupt anyways and doing what they want, but no reasonable parties can make their way up the ranks due to strategic voting to avoid the spoiler effect. So the crap just festers.
