Vote Ontario!
For all of you living in Ontario, there is a huge decision on the ballot on Election Day, October 10, 2007. For the first time in 60-years Ontarians will have to vote on a referendum and this one deals with changing the way we vote from the current system that has been in place since 1792 to Mixed Member Proportional Representation (MMP for short), the option chosen by the Citizen's Assembly on Electoral Reform. There is a video below that explains how and why they chose MMP; it's a bit long but I encourage you to watch it and make your own decision.
Whatever your decision, please remember to vote, and remember that there are those of us (me included) who live in and love Ontario, but don't have the privilege to vote...yet.

Thanks for posting the video, Niko. We're trying to get up to speed on Canadian voting - even though it will be awhile! - and this explains MMP quite well.
It definitely sounds like a much fairer way to allocate representation. Especially to those of us living in redneckrepuglicanville . . . .
