Just look at the table there if voting was proportional. FPTP is completely fucked up voting system.

PARTY VOTE SHARE VOTE TOTAL ELECTED actual ELECTED Proportional
Liberal 32.30% 5,172,090 148 109
Conservative 33.90% 5,439,982 117 114
Bloc Quebecois 7.80% 1,243,766 32 26
New Democrat 17.70% 2,839,026 24 59
Green 2.30% 372,118 2 7
Peoples Party 5.10% 816,076 0 17
Other 0.90% 149,983 0 3

50% line

When it comes to federal elections, basically no province past Ontario even matters.

It's going to get even worse in the future, because all those "blue" areas in Ontario are where the White Boomers live, and they only have maybe 10 ~ 15 years before they're all dead.

We also import more immigrants than actual Canadians who are born. It's actually possible to find cities in this country where the population are all foreigners.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richmond,_British_Columbia#Demographics

As a member municipality of Metro Vancouver, Richmond is composed of 8 local neighbourhoods: Sea Island, City Centre, Thompson, West Richmond, Steveston, South Arm, East Richmond and Hamilton.[2]As of 2016, the city has an estimated population of 198,309 people with 60% being immigrants, the highest proportion of immigrants in Canada.[3]

Yeah it's startling.

That Richmond place you reference, I'm sure they're not counting the children the immigrants have birthed here as immigrants, so the number is likely higher. Also, how do TFWs factor into that count?
