Forget Confederation, Let's Go Electoral College
Having lived in Ontario my entire life, or the small "c" in confederation or "Blue State North", I took our last federal election results and determined what the House of Commons would look like under electoral college. First unlike Mixed proportional, all the members will be picked from elite party lists. We here in Ontario love anything that involves the word elite, we do border New York State, Michigan and the bluest of the blue states, Minnesota.
2006 Canadian Electoral College Results:
Liberals 142
Conservatives 92
Bloc 75
Unworkable Liberal Minority
Conservative-Bloc Coalition
So we have the same thing we have today in the House of Commons except we are sparred Jack Layton's ramblings (I hope they build a Walmart in his riding) and we don't have to stare at all those ugly faces in the House because the party lists will surely be prioritized by physical attractiveness. CPAC's ratings will go through the roof. To me Electoral College works.
