British Columbia had three referenda in 16 years to reform its Westminster system to more of a PR system. All referenda failed.
I watched some of the 2016 hearing on electoral reform. What I saw was "suits and ties" getting paid $500 a day to listen to other "suits and ties" talk. I think Mr. Trudeau made the right political call to dismantle this commission.
It is exceedingly hard to change current systems in a significant way. That is why a new system has to be built from the ground up.
