"there was little resistance to the idea that the franchise and the electoral process itself could be manipulated to assure that the right people participated -- and of course, that the right people won".

Is that from one of Pierre Berton's works or did you Wiki it?

So now Parliamentary democracy is a big conspiracy theory? Democracies across the globe have evolved and grown over time. The Canadian experience is no different. Trying to prop up racial exclusions that occurred 100 years ago as equal to The Green Party not being included in a leaders debate is a crock.

It doesn't just work well for me. It works for all of us if you bother to get involved in a meaninful way and participate. Rather than pretend to be clever and progressive and shout we must tear this house down.

Proponents of PR like to spout off about the European nations experience with it. How many of those countries are going bankrupt? How much of the reasons for those unsustainable nations are attributable to untenable economic and monetary policies foisted on citizens by untenable and unmanageable governments with patchwork quilt PR governments with tens of different political parties all pulling in different directions?
