Avi Lewis: "The next time the NDP has the clear balance of power in a Liberal minority, one demand - proportional representation. That's the only one.
Not studying it further or deciding later or having a referendum - implementing the damn thing.
Let's have a citizens assembly, a quick process to decide which version - there's lot's of good ones .... and then we just implement it.

And I think then our political culture will re-align. I believe there's a progressive majority in this country.
There's a progressive majority for an independent policy from the US, particularly around Israel.
There's a consensus in this country for renewable energy, for real climate action,
There's a consensus that we need to not just stop privatization of our healthcare but expand.
So I think we'd get some of these things if we had a better electoral system so we gotta fight for it."
