I know nearly nothing about Canadian politics. Are liberals really better than conservatives? (fedia.io)

It's great that Pierre lost and he probably lost to someone better, but were there better candidates for the common people on the ballot? How are liberals as a whole for Canada? Would another party have been better - greens for example?

I've seen a community about better vote counting system, so it seems Canada is still a first past the post country?

We need to take this opportunity to push for Proportional Representation. This will keep the smaller parties on the ballot (and more people will vote for them).

It would be cool if the various voting reform advocates could agree on which of the various alternative to FPTP would be best.
