Body
- The problem with First Past the Post (Canada’s current system)—why it can lead to misrepresentation, vote splitting, and strategic voting.
- Alternative models like:
- Ranked Choice Voting (RCV)
- Mixed-Member Proportional Representation (MMP)
- Single Transferable Vote (STV)
- Online voting (with privacy/security debate)
- Pros and cons of each: does more complexity mean more fairness, or more confusion?
- Civic trust and how changing the system might rekindle public engagement—or backfire if rushed or poorly explained.
- Case studies: PEI’s referendums, British Columbia’s multiple reform attempts, New Zealand’s successful MMP transition.
- How AI and digital tools might enhance civic dialogue and simulate outcomes before decisions are made
