Fairvote.ca from their declaration:

"We the undersigned Canadian citizens demand the following basic democratic rights:

  • to cast an equal and effective vote and to be represented fairly in Parliament, regardless of political belief or place of residence.

  • to be governed by a fairly elected Parliament where the share of seats held by each political party closely reflects the popular vote.

  • to live under legitimate laws approved by a majority of elected Parliamentarians representing a majority of voters."
