Canada seems to be headed toward a two party system. I think it's extremely important that we as Canadians push for electoral reform as quickly as possible.

Mark Carney’s liberals and Andrew Sheer’s conservatives must be pressured to support a citizen’s assembly to decide on the next electoral system that parliament must pass.

We need to put first-past-the-post to rest.

Why would they do that? The current system ensures that at least one of them will always be in charge, and they effectively have the same politics.

Because they want to keep the support of the populace. The kiwi politicians didn't want to pass electoral reform for years either until the public had enough of their nonsense and held steady on the issue.
