I’d say an equally large issue is that of people not voting in Ontario. The election last month saw our 2nd lowest turn out in recent history, with the lowest being the election before.
I’d love ranked choice, but I’d settle for proportional. Ontario’s apathy towards voting due to “my vote won’t matter” or “I don’t like either option” is stupid and frustrating.
I think grammatically they meant you could also get your face revoked, leading into the following sentence of being shot down.
More people voting could have actually changed everything. I clicked through probably 2 dozen ridings on elections.on.ca > unofficial results and only 2 had a margin greater than ~7k and some were under 1k.
Mushkegowuk—James Bay has a margin of 4.
My own riding saw the NDP incumbent also win, but only by a margin of ~1600 while being one of the higher voter turnout outs of ~51%.
Barely an increase over the last election, roughly 1.9%. This makes it the 2nd lowest voter turnout in recent history.
Right at the onset of March break too, how disheartening…
