PR change needed

I have read a number of letters to the editor. I, for one, am in favour of proportional representation. I am of the opinion that we will have better governance.

As a Canadian tax payer and voter, I am sick of the scandals, lies and lack of good manner of our elected officials in the Legislature. After working 30 years, I can look back on the changes in my career. The way I did thing changed enormously though the job title didn't. Had I not changed and adapted to this change I would not have lasted.

Federal MP Nathan Cullen held public hearings and submitted a bill for electoral reform but this bill didn't become law. When one looks at the amount of people who attended these meetings, that tells me that many people wanted electoral reform. In other words, the ruling party ignored all this hard work and the wish of the electorate.

Many Canadians still feel robbed by Justin Trudeau reneging on his electoral reform promise. The first past the post people seem to always suggest radical groups taking over the government agenda. I remember we in Canada have gone through the Bloc Quebecois and the Parti Quebecois. We as a nation survived them. Change is constant and if we quit adapting to it, we are in trouble.
