S1 E20 | Why So Many Canadians Feel Unrepresented

from The Canadianist · host Christopher M. Michaud

In this episode, Christopher M. Michaud breaks down why so many Canadians feel frustrated, underrepresented, and disconnected from the system, even though the country itself remains stable.The problem isn’t collapse. It’s misalignment.As Canada has grown more complex, our voting system hasn’t kept up. The result is a system where millions of votes are effectively wasted, governments are formed without majority support, and more Canadians are left feeling politically homeless.This episode cuts through the noise and gets to the core issue: how we vote, and why it needs to change.Christopher lays out a clear, practical solution using Mixed-Member Proportional representation, a system designed to reflect the true will of the electorate, not just the largest minority.If you’ve ever felt like your vote doesn’t count, this episode explains why, and what can be done about it.
