Democratic Institutions Minister Maryam Monsef concedes Canada's first-past-the-post electoral system has its advantages.

And, whatever its flaws, she acknowledges it would be welcomed in fledgling democracies like Afghanistan, from whence she fled as a youngster.

But a mature democracy like Canada can do better, she says.

A quick Google search returned 800 thousand responses for electoral reform Canada. For the economy, 173 million, crime 102 million, jobs 192 million and health care 206 million. No body is clamoring for election reform except the government. It is a false issue.

Well, we could have done better last fall by not putting the Trust Fund Boy into the PMO (as a start).
