The Ontario Legislature takes a 102 day break - When a party can win unchecked power with 40% of the vote, accountability becomes optional.

Proportional representation would prevent governments from sidelining the legislature and would require cooperation instead of unilateral control.
If proportional representation makes a democratic system more fair for all, and we are not moving towards it, then we're just "America Lite" and nothing more. We share the same values with Trump and his crew, to a lesser extent. C'mon politicians! Quit sitting on your fat asses where you can take lots of time off and still get paid. What are you? The privileged elite? It's time to do the right thing for the citizens. Throwing money at new projects and corporations to stimulate the economy just means that the same old players who are familiar with the system get the contracts and they'll be dancing to the same old song all over again.
