This particular example - when it happened - really irked me. 10% of Albertans voted for a particular representative and got . . . nothing. That's when I really started to give a #### about electoral reform, both provincially and federally.
Also, over 80% of Canada's population lives in urban areas. FPTP inherently suppresses many Canadian's votes simply because of density and where they live. In FPTP, it doesn't matter how concentrated the vote is geographically. That's a problem IMO.
