A graphic with a bright yellow and blue radial background and a cream coloured panel. The headline reads “The World’s Happiest Countries use Proportional Representation.” A ranked list shows Finland first, Iceland second, Denmark third, Costa Rica fourth, and Sweden fifth, each with a small flag. A note at the bottom says Canada dropped to 25th from 18th last year. The source is listed as the World Happiness Report 2026 from the University of Oxford Wellbeing Research Centre. A call to action reads “Learn more at fairvote.ca.”

The 2026 World Happiness Report is out, and the pattern is clear. Countries with proportional representation rank at the top.

That's not a coincidence. These systems push governments to serve everyone, not just swing ridings.

It's time to make every vote count here too.

That's the whole point, it lets voters know if they're voting for someone pro or anti apartheid (and often genocide)

"No Kings, No ICE, No War! Democracy is what we're fighting for" -- Our co-president Robert Weissman lit up the crowd at the No Kings rally in Minneapolis.

Together, we can stand up to Trump's lawless and authoritarian administration.

Voters in This State Overwhelmingly Said Yes to Limiting Money in Politics. Then the State Legislature Had Its Say. Some 78% of Oregon voters approved limiting campaign contributions in 2020. Four years later, the Legislature finally adopted limits, but an advocate for tighter controls says recent changes render Or...

Even after Oregon voters overwhelmingly approved campaign contribution caps, the state Legislature dragged its feet on passing limits — and it’s since loosened them.

Mayor Frey can thank Minneapolis Public Housing Authority & affiliated nonprofit Community Housing Resources for 43 filings yesterday.
Significant bump in Mpls filings the past few days.

Approximate* Minneapolis eviction filings 3/1 thru 3/11:
2025: ~54
2026: ~237
A 339% increase compared to 2025.

A day after Frey vetoed pre-eviction notice, two ICE vehicles are parked in MPD parking outside City Hall. My assumption would be that they’re here to meet with the mayor’s administration.

We’re still under occupation.
