Volunteers Needed: Tell Canadians Why You Care About Proportional Representation
We're looking to develop a series of facebook posters of Canadians sharing why proportional representation is important to them. We need Canadians to understand that making votes count isn't a dry, mathematical issue - that the desire for proportional represenation comes from deeply held, shared values - that it comes from the heart. If you have a short quote and a picture we could use on facebook about why acheiving PR matters to you, please let me know.
On a similar note, do you have direct experience with proportional representation from another country?
Are you a Canadian who has lived and voted in a country that successfully uses proportional representation, such as Sweden, Norway, Scotland, New Zealand, Germany etc? Would you be willing to tell fellow Canadians a bit about that experience, compared to voting with first-past-the-post in Canada, and why you think we should choose a more proportional system? We’re looking for a few people who would be willing to provide us with a photo and quote for a social media poster and a summary of your experience which would go on a new page on our website. It's not so much the mechanics of PR in another country that are most important, as every country has their own system design, but how proportional representation makes democracy more meaningful for voters, and politics different.

Nous cherchons à développer une série de posters Facebook de Canadiens partageant les raisons pour lesquelles la représentation proportionnelle est importante pour eux. Nous espérons que les Canadiens comprennent que le fait de faire compter chaque vote n’est pas une question aride ou simplement mathématique - que le désir de représentation proportionnelle repose sur des valeurs profondément ancrées et partagées, et qu’il vient du cœur. Si vous avez une courte citation et une image que nous pourrions utiliser sur Facebook qui montrent pourquoi obtenir la représentation proportionnelle vous concerne, veuillez communiquer avec moi.
Sincèrement,
