And I could really use some help in the comments section!

Thanks,

No other Western democratic country concentrates as much political power 
in the hands of one person as Canada does with her Prime Minister.

>There is an excellent article by Andrew Coyne in today's National Post on the effects of our electoral system on electoral campaigns which might be of interest to you. The link to the article is below.  Mr. Coyne  makes a very strong argument for PR as a solution to the problem which First Past the Post creates of  focusing campaigns on swing ridings and swing voters and largely ignoring other voters.  It is well worth the read.
