Every decade or so, the Grits relearn the old lesson: "Beware of hubris".

@HemiJB91 ... cause that's where most Canadians live. You'd rather have the minority dictating to the majority? That's a democracy?

You figure that thee fringe 2% that the PPC might squeeze out on ballot day is going to do it?

@richardmoore5347 Don't bet on it. ... fringe mutants in Canada.

Proportional representation would give more seats to Ontario and wipe them out in places like PEI, the Yukon, NWT, Nunavut, Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Alberta would be a wash with about the same representation before and after. Alberta has 1/9th of the population of Canada and 1/9th of the seats in Parliament. God help us if we ever adopt something as kooky as the US system over the Westminster first past the post that we have now.

@brucewayne3892 So, what do you propose ..... mass cleansing of Ontario so that you can rule? People settled there because of industry, soil fertility and climate. Is that really a crime against YOU?

@NBeaver-bx4yl If that rule were strictly true, the Conservatives would never form governments. Ontario (and Quebec to a certain extent) votes both ways and you may see a change this time. It's funny, Liberals in power and Ontarians are "bad, bad people". Conservatives in power and "the Weest is in!" even though it's Ontario ridings that usually decide either outcome.
