You rightly had an problem with the US system where 46% of the vote got 100% of the power in 2016, you also had a problem with the Senate and SCOTUS, but you think Canada has a democratic system when 39% of the vote gets 100% of the power, including not only the executive but the House of Commons?

I would argue that voting for a head of state is very different than voting for a head of government. I'd also argue against the notion that minority governments have limitless power.

Of course you're not in a hurry, and neither was Trudeau, because the party you both support is in power and is most of the time.  At least someone like Shady wears their partisan biases on their sleeve.

I'm not in a hurry because I see real problems with PR in Canada. Most of the countries that do well with PR tend to be homogenous and small. Canada is vast and disparate.
