London North Centre GPO/ London Centre GPC on Bluesky
Today is Earth Day. If you didn’t vote yet, then consider the future of young Canadians when casting your ballot. While there are many immediate issues affecting people, we need significant climate change mitigation efforts now. Ignore vote splitting arguments & vote GREEN for a better environment.
Our @canadiangreens.bsky.social candidates are: London Centre, @maryannhodge.bsky.social; London West, Jeff Vanderzwet and Middlesex-London, Jim Johnston. Vote for change; vote Green!
I’m a big fan of the greens and all but isn’t fairvote supposed to be non-partisan?
You’re right to call me out on this, Alexis. While I shared this Green post, I’m not endorsing them. I’m just sharing content that highlights a key problem with our electoral system.
The “ignore vote splitting arguments” part directly relates to FVC’s core mission - it perfectly illustrates why proportional representation is so urgently needed. Under our current system, voters are constantly pressured to vote strategically rather than for who they actually support.
My view has always been consistent: people should vote for candidates who support proportional representation, regardless of party. Greens🟢/NDP🟧/Bloc⚜️ consistently support PR, while Liberals and Conservatives have repeatedly blocked meaningful reform.
I believe voting for parties that promise proportional representation is always better than voting for those that don’t. But I’m not telling anyone specifically who to vote for - just highlighting an example of how our broken system forces impossible choices on voters who care about both policy issues AND fair representation.
Sorry if this came across as partisan - that wasn’t my intent.
