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 think the new sovereign wealth fund might do this but if not its heading the right way:

When the government funds a company like a startup or bails out an existing company it should get shares in those companies.

This would allow us to increase the amount of money in our public market which will increase the amount of companies being started in Canada. And the conservatives will be less able to bitch about it because its an investment and running the government like a business. Not that any of them know how to do that.
