Even though the PCs captured 43% of the vote, they won 64% of the seats. In other words, in our system, 57% of the people can vote against the PCs, but the Tories still win 100% of the power | TVO

If only the Liberal Party hadn't broken their promise to reform our electoral system. 10 years to change it, now I bet they'll cry about it again. It's funny how Trudeau decided it wasn't a problem anymore once it put him in the PM's office.
