Vote reform off the table, Feb. 2

Electoral reform is a non-partisan issue. It is about voters’ representatives actually being representative of voters. It is about making everyone’s vote count for something.

Working out the details of a more proportional electoral system may not be easy, but that is no reason to throw up our hands and give up on improving our representative democracy. I hope our government will reconsider, and do what it promised to do.

Prime Minister Trudeau, you have let me down and I am blaming you today for the day in the future when Canadians elect Kellie Leitch, or someone of her ilk, to be prime minister with 37 per cent of the vote. Shame on you.

Lies, even when delivered by good-looking people with beautiful smiles and sunny ways, are still lies.

The only expression that would express accurately my feeling is the French one: “c’est vraiment dégueulasse!” As a francophone, Mr. Trudeau would understand it.

Trudeau concealed the truth around reforming an electoral system he knew would not benefit his party. Three years from now, he will pay dearly for his deliberate and malicious duplicity.
