Democracy isn't broken. It's rigged.

Your Vote Is Not Equal

Lobbying, donations, media access, and old-money networks give some Canadians far more political power than others. One ballot each, but wildly unequal influence. Parliament needs to fix this.

What We're Demanding

1

Study Equity-Weighted Voting

We're calling on Parliament to commission an independent study into equity-weighted voting as a mechanism for correcting structural political inequality.

2

Implement the Correction

Adjust ballot weights based on the structural disadvantages voters face, so that every Canadian's political voice carries genuinely equal power.

3

Make Democracy Real

Stop pretending one ballot equals one voice when the system around the ballot is rigged. Formal equality isn't enough. We need substantive equality.

Why We're Calling on Parliament

Every Canadian gets one ballot. But the system around that ballot, the lobbyists, the donors, the family connections, the media access, means some people's votes count for more. Not on paper. In practice.

We're demanding that Parliament study and implement equity-weighted voting. Votes from people in equity-seeking groups would carry a multiplier, between 1.0x and 2.0x, to offset the advantages that privileged groups already have through channels that have nothing to do with elections.

Equity mechanisms like this already exist in Canadian political parties. Section 15 of the Charter supports it. The only thing missing is political will. That's where you come in.
