I don't care what the rest of the world has or does not have as a standard.  FPTP is OUR standard and has worked here for 150 years.  The "world standard" argument is both a weak defense, and a weak attack.   Canada's electoral system is not broke so no one should spend valuable time and resources fixing it.  Of course, for folks that are  supporters of the Federal NDP. BQ, or Green Party then it must be broken because they can't win.  Funny fact: In provinces where the NDP wins they have never changed the system to proportional representation.  I wonder why that is?
