Actually, I live in the first municipality in Canada to use ranked choice voting-- until the provincial government enacted a bill that disallowed it in 2020.
I’ve also been around long enough to have voted in the last Ontario referendum on the topic. It did not go well because people didn’t understand what was being proposed. Same story for BC’s referendum.
I’m merely pointing out the recurring theme over the last couple of decades where the LPC will make electoral reform promises they never fulfill.
Same regarding the last referendum. When that happened I knew for sure it had to be introduced in a smaller lower stakes way which is why I was pretty happy when London used ranked choice (a bright spot for a city whose politicians suck more often than not). Removing that is one of the things I hate most about Doug.

Same story here in Colorado, everyone said it was ‘too complicated’ which translates to ‘we’re just straight up dumb’

Oh my God you are so right about London politicians.
Remember those useless board of control parasites clinging to their pointless jobs? Or the Liberal legend Joe Fontana?
