Do you want Canadian Luigis?

I presume by Luigi, you mean Luigi Mangione?

By “independent”, that means free from undue influence from other branches of government

Security clearances can play an important role in our electoral system, but must be carefully designed. If failing a clearance disqualifies candidates, then several critical safeguards must be in place.

The clearance process must be:

• Administered by a truly independent, non-partisan body with clear oversight
• Completely transparent in its methodology and criteria
• Applied equally to all candidates regardless of party affiliation
• Subject to meaningful appeal mechanisms through our courts
• Protected against partisan manipulation
• Focused only on legitimate security concerns (foreign influence, corruption)

Having the intelligence arm of the government administer clearances without independent oversight creates dangerous potential for abuse. Intelligence agencies should provide information, but final determinations should be made by a body insulated from political pressure from the executive or legislative branches.

As for your second question about electoral reform - the math is clear. Neither the Liberals nor Conservatives have demonstrated genuine interest in proportional representation. The Liberals have repeatedly promised reform (since 1919!) only to abandon it once in power. Trudeau’s explicit admission that they were “deliberately vague” to appeal to electoral reform advocates speaks volumes.

The only parties consistently supporting proportional representation are the Green🟢/NDP🟧/Bloc⚜️. None may form a majority government under our current system precisely because FPTP systematically disadvantages smaller parties.

That’s the catch-22 of electoral reform: the parties that benefit from the broken system have no incentive to fix it. This is why focusing on principled candidates who support PR, regardless of their chance of forming government, is so important.

Remember, in a democracy, citizens are deserving of and entitled to representation in government. Only PR can dependably deliver that.

Big corporations just buy up all our information networks. Here is a list of acquisition resistant, Canadian Owned and operated media.

I think so long as there are content moderation policies that focus on misinformation, then they’re ok. But that’s challenging sometimes, and not always practical.

Or force them to drop the “news” word from their branding and descriptions

Yes! News should be a legally regulated term, just like engineer, lawyer, or physician.

We should ban organizations that pretend to be news: Fox News, Rebel Media…

Alolan Vulpix used Nasty Plot!

I couldn’t do it alone. We have decades of broken promises on proportional representation promises to thank.

Let’s call it a rainbow coalition 🟥🟧🟨🟢🩵!

Additional context:

1. Carleton is the Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre’s riding.
2. The Longest Ballot Committee overloads the ballot with candidates (usually 100+) to advertise the absurdity of FPTP, and push for proportional representation.

I have done all of those things and will continue to do them in the future

Thanks! Let’s keep growing the PR movement!

That’s because it’s the same organization!!

Edit: while not the same organization, they have the same mission: critical analysis of information and mass media. Read more at House hippo on Wikipedia.

What’s not misinformation: We must keep advocating for proportional representation. If PR dies, so does Canadian democracy as we know it. FPTP is already pushing us toward a two-party system, just like the USA.

This means that as angry as I am at the Liberals for the FPTP stab-in-the-back, that very FPTP system now requires that I vote Liberal for the sake of my country.

I am not happy about this.

Then after the election, you better be fighting your hardest to get proportional representation.

I hate FPTP, and I have been angry at Trudeau for a decade for breaking his promise of reform
