Campaign, coming off a referendum victory in that province

class="" moz-do-not-send="true">keeping their doors open</a>
to help kill PR in other provinces. The political
establishment appears to be concerned: they know that if PR is
adopted in one province and the others see that the sky
doesn't fall, it might just catch on and spread.</div>
