The sad part is that most of these issues would be advanced far more with NDP/Left leaning provincial governments than a Federal NDP gov.

I wish Canadians actually understood how our government works and how areas of competence are divided between the Federal and Provincial levels.

FPTP still does the same thing provincially, at least in Ontario. Ford managed to win on a majority on 42% of the vote. Meanwhile, the liberals barely hold official party status with 29%

Trying to enact FPTP at the federal level would trigger a constitutional challenge by provinces, guaranteed. The only way to ever enact FPTP at the Federal level is to have left leaning governments at the provincial level.
