As many of our members as possible should write down brief reasons why he as a Liberal prime minister of a majority government should implement PR eg policy lurch like I heard Byron Becker say at the Kitchener Library. PM Trudeau is trying to implement thoughtful policies but they could be reversed by a future Conservative government. A few of my favorites are distorted election results eg 1993: the Tories won two seats. 2008 was that when the Bloc Quebecois, a separatist party, which only ran candidates in One of ten provinces and three territories, became the Official Opposition.
