With another country threatening to annex us, this is about the last thing I feel we should be focusing on. Won't do much fucking good if we don't have a country.
Countries with pr perform better on every issue:

Doesn't change the larger, more important issue this currently distracts from.
Focus is more important right now.
The states that use pr are more stable than Canada, such as Norway, Finland, Iceland, New Zealand, Denmark and Switzerland.
Proportional representation would strengthen Canada’s ability to fight off American encroachment.

I’m not sure what you mean by not having a country.
Also, the government doesn’t have a singular function. It can work on the threat from the south, and have people look into what needs to be done for electoral reform and even execute it, all while the PM does squats.
What we need is a quick move to come up with a plan to handle an unstable US for the long term. Such a plan may include improving Canada’s own security, and reform our electoral system to prevent demagoguery from the US from taking hold of our government. If the CPC’s earlier lead in the polls is not a red flag for it happening, idk what else is. Far-right, anlt-right, and maga-like rhetoric is here in Canada, and is influenced not just by the Russians and Chinese, but also the USA.
You make a good point. I have reconsidered my stance.
Stopped reading at condescension.
Disagreement is not condescension.
There was clear condescension there... as well as disagreement I'm sure, but like I said, I stopped at the condescension. I'll never know if he had a decent point or not.
