The Liberal government’s new electoral reform website, MyDemocracy.ca, is being roundly mocked online as critics take to Twitter to express disappointment with what they call misleading and simplistic questions.

Democratic Institutions Minister Maryam Monsef put out a press release early Monday morning announcing the launch of the site, which was created by Toronto-based Vox Pop Labs as part of the government’s effort to consult Canadians on what kind of electoral reform they want. But while they might have wanted the survey to get people talking about electoral reform, they may not have anticipated the derision that would be aimed their way as a result.

“The first rule of engagement, the Liberals should learn, is not to treat Canadians like they’re stupid,” said NDP democratic reform critic Nathan Cullen in the Commons today, pointing to the barrage of tweets ridiculing the initiative.

Conservative democratic reform critic Scott Reid also joined in, likening the survey to a “dating website designed by Fidel Castro.”

Monsef defended the survey, noting 8,000 people have taken part so far.

“MyDemocracy.ca is a new, engaging initiative that will allow all Canadians to have a say,” she said.

The quiz runs to 20 questions on reform preferences and several more on values and priorities before asking participants to fill out a brief profile that asked for their genders, incomes, professions and postal codes, whether they’re members of a minority and whether they’re allowed to vote in Canada.

It then sorted them based on those responses into one of five categories: Guardian, Challenger, Pragmatist, Cooperator and Innovator, each roughly grouping those who prefer the status quo and those who would like to see a significant change in how Canadians vote.

That approach was likened by critics to the simplistic style of online personality quizzes and spawned the hashtag #RejectedERQs, where critics created mocking and simplistic questions of their own to poke fun at the what they suggested was a process either designed to fail or to favour the prime minister’s preferred option of a ranked ballot voting system.
