Ever wonder why your vote feels meaningless in Canada? You're not imagining it.

In this eye-opening conversation, I sit down with Ted Craig from FairVote Canada to expose the shocking truth about our broken electoral system. We dive deep into why Canada's 150-year-old first-past-the-post voting system is failing modern democracy and explore the solutions that could transform how we're represented.
