I'm talking about proportional representation when voting for members of parliament, not for the senate.
I emailed Jack Layton on the issues (since his party is obviously the ones who are going to be most concerned about it since they get the shaft under the current system) and he sent me back a very interesting link from a speech by one of his MP's to Queen's university students.

I would encourage everyone remotely interested in this topic to give some or all of that a read. It talks specifically about western alienation, the NEP, how our current system reinforces the regionalism in politics that we are all sick of.
