Coquitlam elected a pro-life missionary parachute candidate with no experience. Despite 69% of the popular vote having almost exact opposite values. If this isn't a clear indication of a broken system I don't know what is. Electoral reform and PR should be an issue that all Canadians fight for.

Her win really irked me. I received a campaign letter from her that was targeted. They knew that I'm Chinese Canadian so the letter came in both English and Chinese (Which I read at a 3rd Grade level lol). Anyway the stuff in the letter was typical Con fear mongering. Trudeau's gonna legalize hard drugs, open the floodgates to refugees en mass, etc. What's surprising is that there was a statement stating that the Cons would 'fix' the relationship between Canada and China. Not surprisingly they deduced that that issue is a big deal for Chinese Canadians of the newly arrived. Of course 'Old Stock' Chinese Cdn that I am promptly threw that letter out and marched over to vote for the NDP Candidate. Convinced my more Conservative folks to do the same too.
