Democracy in Action

Bloc Quebecois: 10.0% of national vote -> 50 seats
Green Party: 6.8% of national vote -> 0 seats

Of course, there's an upside, too:
Bloc Quebecois: 10.0% of national vote -> 50 seats
NDP: 18.2% of national vote -> 37 seats

(Just kidding, Mom! Sort of.)

But can someone please reform the senate and get proportional representation in the House of Commons?

I totally agree with you. I think the internet just might make it happen in my lifetime. The Twitter talk was all about it! Glad to have you back hanging out your thoughts.
