Congratulations @HMcPhersonMP and @DesjarlaisBlake on your successful campaigns. I’m happy to see two New Democrats headed to Ottawa from #yeg.

I hope one of the issues you’ll work on is electoral reform.

This election has reinforced why FPTP is an unacceptable voting system for a modern democracy like Canada. I elaborate on that here:

As I stated in my testimony to the #ERRE committee, adopting a new voting system not only doesn’t require a referendum, it would be undemocratic to hold a referendum on this issue.

I hope the @NDP will push for Parliament to simply adopt a PR system.

I also wanted to point out that there are made in Canada proportional systems that could resolve the issues we see with FPTP.

Dual Member PR, which was developed right here in #yeg, is one such system: DMPforCanada.com
