If you wonder why the "Quiet Posters" feed doesn't work for you anymore, it is because the @why.bsky.team subscribed to an anti-anti-ai block list, rendering it useless for over 300 000 users. Good job bsky team!!

​A digital article screenshot from CBC News titled Here is the 'experiment' NDP Leader Avi Lewis is trying to run in Canadian politics. The subtitle notes that Lewis is calling for fundamental structural changes during his first Ottawa visit. Below the headline is a photo of Avi Lewis smiling in a suit, standing between two Canadian flags. The bottom half of the image features a pull quote where Lewis argues that the first-past-the-post system causes people to vote defensively or strategically. He concludes by stating that proportional representation is needed to restore faith in democracy and allow people to vote for what they believe in.

Appreciate @avilewis.ca bringing the case for proportional representation back to Ottawa.

Breaking the cycle of defensive voting is the only way to modernize our democracy. It is time to make every vote count.
