    Canadianism Podcast | S2 E7 | Quebec Is About to Show Canada What’s Wrong With Our Voting System michaudman


Quebec’s approaching provincial election offers one of the clearest demonstrations of what’s wrong with Canada’s voting system.

Christopher M. Michaud examines how geography turns similar levels of public support into wildly different levels of political power, why voters in safe ridings become disengaged, and how the Michaud Method would preserve local representation while giving every Canadian a say in who governs the country.
