I don't think the Liberals want to do electoral reform unless it's ranked ballot choice (where of course everyone's #2 choice is the centrist Liberal candidate ...) - they want to be able to govern with majorities which they'd never get under a proportional representation system.
This is unfortunately one of the frustrating things about getting electoral reform - only the winners can change the rules that made them winners, so they don't want to change them!
I agree but I think Trudeau understands that we are in a dangerous time where letting a minority have majority control could do lasting damage to our society. He himself has to understand that his own time in power is limited at this point. Perhaps he can be convinced to move on this as a sort of legacy gesture.
I swear if he managed to pull that off I'd actually respect him.
