I like the idea of a hybrid of FPTP and PropRep. Give half the seats to PropRep so that way regional representation is still a thing in Parliament (which is why we have FPTP to begin with) because sometimes what's good for Ontario and Quebec isn't what's good for the Prairies and the Maritimes.


My concern one way or another is how majority governments would be decided. The last time a party received 50% or more of the popular vote was 1984, and even then it was just BARELY over 50%.

Honestly, with how segmented this country is, it makes far more sense to continue to decentralize powers to provincial authority, as has been the general trend in the last 100 years. We're already arguably the most decentralized country on Earth, but there's still room for more decentralization.
