I have quite a few creative ideas, but am too tired to write them down rn. I'll go the easy, lazy way (and write about more legislation ideas tomorrow):

Proportional representation like Germany. In every election, the voter votes for an individual and a party. The individual is chosen to represent the riding through STAR voting (my version). After all MPs are elected, to ensure proportional representation according to the party votes (the second vote that voters cast), individuals from party lists are put into parliament.

This way, we get riding representation and party representation.

I wish I could rank one of the more popular/less controversial ones above this, but for me what has to come first is putting the primary focus on taxing income that comes from excess wealth instead of focusing so much on income that comes from work. The purpose is to stop the push to privatize everything and properly fund fully complete health care, infrastructure, education, and other needed services (transportation, Canada Post, etc.).

I realize many people either think things are fine or that Carney's Liberals will fix things, but as I see it we're following closely behind the UK in terms of our political progression. The Liberals are shaping up like Starmer's Labour, who promised to end the Conservatives' austerity but instead doubled down on it. They became hugely unpopular as the consequences of austerity unfolded (well before the Epstein/Mandelson scandal) and now their country is at risk of falling to Reform fascism because people are weary, desperate for a change, and don't know who to trust.
