A Fair Canadian Federal Voting System by 2019

The Issue

Dear Prime Minister,

At this point, we are unsure of who you are.  You could be Ms. May, Mr. Mulcair, or Mr. Trudeau.  In either case we, the undersigned, took great care to vote in our ridings to ensure that one of you would be our Prime Minister.  And if we did well and promoted that idea well enough, it actually worked.

We did this for a reason.  We understand that the first-past-the-post voting system is not in Canada's best interest.  It does not represent us accurately.  You promised that we would have a new voting system that does represent us accurately in the 2019 election.

So, we voted for you.  And some of us did so strategically, even though we would normally prefer to vote for the one of the others mentioned above who did not win, or another party, all to ensure that our leader was not Stephen Harper, who did not support a new voting system.

We the undersigned do solemnly urge you to keep your promise and succeed in getting us a fairer voting system.  It was our first and most dear wish when we voted in the 2015 election.
