It is a shame that Canada is becoming increasingly polarized. The notion of voting your conscience gets thrown out the window when we're forced to vote for a 'winner'. I think if we truly had representation based on population, then the Reform element would probably hold about 5% of the seats. The killed $2.00 vote subsidy this past spring, is only going to further stifle debate, dissent and the evolution of new parties.
