Canada uses a first past the post system. This is where candidates are elected by a majority within the their respective ridings.

It depends on the population of those ridings, hence the last election result where Trudeau got less votes than O'Toole but still ended up as PM.

Trudeau promised to change the process to proportional representation, which would reflect the popular vote. He reneged. Had proportional representation been in place last October, the Conservatives would have formed a minority government.

The voting system has nothing to do with Ontario or your belief that this is somehow Ontario's fault. Here is something to consider.

In June 2015, Trudeau vowed that the federal election of that year would be the last conducted under the first-past-the-post system. In February 2017, as prime minister, he decided to walk away from that commitment.

In December 2018, British Columbians voted against moving to proportional representation by a margin of 61 per cent to 39 per cent.
