CBC graphic showing Tony McQuail speaking during coverage of the NDP leadership race. He is wearing a wide brimmed hat and standing in front of a hand drawn chart labelled Private Sector, Public Sector, Family and Community, and Nature. The lower banner reads Power and Politics and NDP Leadership Race. The headline says Tony McQuail runs through his platform ahead of the final NDP leadership debate. A quote on screen argues that unless Canada moves beyond first-past-the-post, parties will keep forming majority governments with only 38 to 40% of the popular vote and that democracy works best when seats reflect public support proportionally.

Thank you to @tonymcquailndp.bsky.social for putting proportional representation at the centre of the NDP leadership debate.

Calling out 38 to 40% false majorities takes courage. Canada deserves a voting system where seats actually reflect how people vote.

At the NDP leadership debate, @tonymcquailndp.bsky.social raised ending first-past-the-post and called it a handicap that distorts representation.

Thank you Tony for putting electoral reform on the table. Proportional representation ensures seats match votes.

The NDP collapsed in 2025. Does that mean they are irrelevant? Former party leader Jagmeet Singh stepped down last year after losing his seat in Burnaby. Now, the party stands at a crossroads, with five potential candidates looking to be the next leader.

After the NDP’s disastrous election results last year, could new leadership bring them back? Find out in this month’s Feature:

Non-Violent Defense Workshop January 28, 2026 at 4:00 pm EST
Tony says:  "Canada will work to return both our country and NATO to their true roots: cooperative security, conflict prevention, and international stability. We will champion a non-violent national defence strategy, focused on diplomacy, civil resilience, humanitarian assistance, and de-escalation. Canada’s role in NATO must reflect our core values and contribute to genuine peace, not endless militarization."

Screenshot from Wikipedia showing the 2025 Federal Election results. The winner received 36% of the votes. Tanille received almost 33% of the votes. The Liberals took 26% of the vote. Green almost 2% others less than 1%. All of the votes, the majority except the winners counted for electing nobody. This is a grossly unfair system. First Past the Post is called democratic in that people are allowed to vote, even though the majority of votes elect nobody.

Screenshot of Tanille Johnston in her car and Tony McQuail in his home office during the livestream.

Tanille is a proud LiΗ§Κ·iΕ‚dax̌ʷ woman from the We Wai Kai First Nation. A dedicated social worker, mother, and bold new voice for the future of the NDP. With over 14 years of experience, she serves as Director of Community Programs with the First Nations Health Authority and as a City Councillor in Campbell River.

Tanille’s leadership is rooted in actionβ€”advocating for equity, building healthier communities, and pushing for institutional change. She’s not here to play it safe. She’s here to build a movement grounded in grassroots organizing and justice.
