In either case (EU or no EU), we must push for the government to implement proportional representation, and that starts by getting organized: !fairvote@lemmy.ca.

I wrote this post about the objectives of the fairvote community.

As far as I know, !fairvote@lemmy.ca is the only online community dedicated towards this cause.

So a lot of the current work is building the movement, and getting those that already support the movement organized.

We know a federal election is coming up, and the more this movement grows, the more politicians will bend to our demands (as they should in a democracy).

The election of EU representatives is separate from the election of representatives in parliament. Canada could end up like the UK was (in the good old days), with PR for the European elections and FPTP for its own national elections.

The odds of Canada joining the EU are technically non-zero but pretty damn close.

We defnitely need closer EU ties, but joining the EU probably isnt gonna happen.

I firmly believe that our connection to the U.S. has held us back in all facets of development including health care, technology, and defence. We've compared ourselves to the states instead of the best the world has to offer and we've grown complacent. I'm afraid that whatever happens in the next few years will be a shit show with Canada achieving a degree of independence at the expense of the environment and First Nations, but I hope we can do better than we have in the past, and looking outside our immediate sphere is a start.
