I guess canadians get what they voted for... :)

  in a three-party system, there's provably no optimal voting system. Most people who would normally vote NDP voted strategically in the last election to prevent a conservative majority. While it's true in the literal sense that we got what we voted for -- I mean, that's tautological; whoever wins an election is "voted" for -- it's not really the whole picture.

    There is always the Australian system. Mandatory voting, preferential votes, majority rule. The Preferential part is the most important, it means you can vote for who you want but also have the second preference get a vote if the first fails to get a wide enough margin. That first vote however will get additional resources based on vote tally with the next election cycle. If either of the last two majority parties fail to get the necessary votes to hold control and you have a hung parliament, they then have to negotiate with other parties to gain their preference. Its not perfect but it looks like the best case system I have seen.

  Oh wait.. canadians there’s more on the way lol, Mark Carney just posted on X for ID identification for social platforms: Today, our government introduced new legislation to protect our kids online. Canada's Safe Social Media Act will hold social media and AI platforms accountable, make them safer, and restrict access to social media for children under 16. https://x.com/markjcarney/status/2064846939691139082?s=46 https://x.com/markjcarney/status/2064846939691139082?s=46
