  1. That's because the Canadian election doesn't have a separate election for prime minister. The party with the most mps wins the elections. When you vote, you are voting for your local mp, not the prime minister directly. But in the U.S., the party with most seats in the house of congress doesn't get the presidency. Since they have a separate election for the presidency, why not just use the popular vote since there is no local representation involved in that election.

  2. The gta has more than three times the people, so the average vote per person already has much more power in sask.

So if we had an election for prime minister separate from the mps, yes I welcome the popular vote.
