For a variety of reasons, I don’t think PR works with Canada’s system of government and would result in chronically weak governments. I also don’t like seats allocated from party lists, which to some extent is inevitable in a PR system, as far as I know. I could contemplate it if the threshold for votes resulting in seats were relatively high and if a party were required to meet that threshold in at least two of Canada’s five regions to be eligible for seats (which of course is unlikely because Quebec). Not that I think FPTP always gives the best result - this election, if it produces a Conservative minority beholden to the Bloc to govern, would be the worst of a possible results, imo.
