  On corner-store booze Ford turned a Liberal promise into a potent political weapon. He can do the same with our electoral system.

The article from TVO discusses the potential for voting reform in Ontario, drawing a parallel with Premier Doug Ford's previous decision to expand the sale of beer and wine to more retail outlets. The author, Matt Guerin, argues that just as Ford made alcohol more accessible to increase consumer choice, he should consider implementing ranked ballots or other voting reforms to enhance voter choice and representation. Guerin points out that the current first-past-the-post system often results in governments with less than majority support, leading to voter disillusionment. He suggests that adopting a system like ranked ballots could lead to more representative outcomes, potentially benefiting Ford's own political strategy by aligning with public demand for change in how elections are conducted. The piece highlights the need for electoral reform to reflect modern democratic values and increase voter engagement.
