In BԪַYour ViewBԪַ a reader wrote apparently in support of the awful First Past the Post system, erroneously claiming BԪַurban centers are too easily mislead by media or propagandaBԪַ.

Urban centers tend to have more diverse opinions, thought, discussion, and media choices. It is the rural centers that, being isolated, tend to be less informed and are more easily manipulated, not the other way around.

Proportional representation is the only way everyoneBԪַs vote matters. Canada has seen too many majority governments elected by a minority. The government is supposed to represent the people, not act like dictators that won the election lottery. Nobody who leaves FPTP ever wants to go back.

An as far as wolf culls go BԪַ mankind has wiped out 60 per cent of earthBԪַs wild and marine life in just the last 40 years. IsnBԪַt that enough?
