The federal New Democrats are eyeing Alberta's urban-rural divide as a way to flip blue seats in the next general election. Leader Jagmeet Singh's recent visit to Edmonton is part of a shift in the party's approach that will have him spend more time in fewer places as a way to deepen connections with people in certain regions of Canada.

Trudeau killed electoral reform because he wanted to switch us to Ranked Choice voting which massively favours the Liberals. When the Liberals held nationwide consults (one of which I attended) it became clear that Canadians overwhelmingly wanted something with Proportional Representation, not Ranked. This is why he killed it.

That's the tale the hive mind landed on, yup.

If the Liberals wanted it so bad, how do you explain the incredibly biased survey they put out that was designed to manufacture consent for cancelling the initiative?
