Make sure you're sitting down when you compare a PEI voter to a first-class citizen living in Brantford. (just using prov/fed data because it's much easier to find; Calgary wards are a lot closer to equal, but some voters are more watered down than others).
Which actually raises an interesting question about this at the prov/federal level - we know there is a general disparity of # of electors in rural vs urban districts, but it is amplified even further when we look at total population. How do you feel about urban voters being so watered down now?
You had a lot more than zero interest and brought it up frequently when the NDP were in power. Must just be a weird coincidence that you got tired of talking about it halfway through 2019.

I would prefer that every vote has the same weight. I’m in favour of some form of proportional representation. What does that have to do with non-citizens voting?
