About Not Equal Canada
A grassroots campaign demanding democratic reform
Who We Are
We're a non-partisan group of Canadians who think formal electoral equality isn't cutting it. Activists, academics, community organizers, regular people. We see the gap between what democracy promises and what it actually delivers, and we're done waiting for politicians to notice.
What We Want
We're calling on the Parliament of Canada to study and implement equity-weighted voting. Adjust the ballot to compensate for the advantages some Canadians get through lobbying, wealth, media, and connections. Every Canadian's political voice should carry genuinely equal weight. Right now it doesn't, and Parliament has done nothing about it.
Why Now
Trust in democratic institutions is dropping. Turnout is falling, especially in the communities that are most shut out. The gap between formal equality and real equality gets wider every election. Incremental reform isn't going to cut it anymore. We need Parliament to act.
Not a Party
Not Equal Canada is not affiliated with any political party. We take inspiration from progressive movements across the Canadian spectrum, but we're an independent advocacy organization. Our loyalty is to the principle, not to any party's election strategy.
