Last evening, I joined the Mathare Youth Sports Association (@MYSAKenya) family to celebrate the life of Bob Munro. When the story of Mathare is written, a big chapter should be dedicated to Bob, a Canadian who saw hope and opportunity for youth when others saw only despair. 1/4

A fortnight ago, I had the incredible opportunity to represent Canada-Mathare Education Trust at #ReImagineEducation2025 by African Leadership University. This year’s themeβ€”"Is Higher Education in Africa Fit for Purpose?"β€”challenged us to critically rethink learning for the future. 1/2

With first-past-the-post, 43% of the vote gave Ford's PCs 64.5% of the seats and 100% of the power. It's time for proportional representation. fairvote.ca/28/02/2025/pcs…

Proportional representation doesn’t just change how many seats a party wins, but where. Whether you're a Liberal in rural Alberta or a Conservative in downtown Toronto, you get the representation you vote for. That's why we love PR-it bridges our divides. #cdnpoli

Who benefits most from proportional representation? Urban Conservatives and Prairie Liberals. We’re not as divided as we thinkβ€”we just need a voting system that stops distorting our democracy. #Election2025 #cdnpoli

The case for proportional representation is undeniable. CTV News reports on how our democracy distorting voting system fuels regional divisions, and how proportional representation can fix it. Mark Carney, will you champion a system where every vote truly counts? #cdnpoli
