Make sure you go out and vote in the provincial election. This election is quite important, not because we are voting in our provincial representatives, but because we are voting on the future expression of democracy in Ontario (and possibly Canada down the line).

A proposal spawned from a Citizens Assembly (comprised of 130 random Ontario citizens) which evaluated possible changes in our electoral and representative system in Ontario. They’ve decided to propose to the Ontario people that we adopt MMP over FPP. This is something we will be voting on and rather than prattle on about the differences myself, I’ll let a group of very smart people share the process and the issues with you.

I strongly suggest you listen to the above panel discussion. I originally thought I knew how I’d vote–I’m not so sure any more.
