Buying a used Google Pixel to put GrapheneOS on it isn’t as bad as buying a new Google Pixel.

While most Androids might be Samsung, they aren’t as good as they used to be. I’ve had lots of problems with Samsung products from tech to appliances in the past 5 or 10 years. At this point, I don’t buy anything Samsung. LG isn’t as bad.

There is also FastMail and Mailbox.org and others that aren’t American.

ProtonMail isn’t for everyone. Most people want a smooth experience.

If you don’t need to buy a new phone right now, wait until the Motorola phones that support GrapheneOS.

If you want electoral reform, one of the best things you can do is get involved. Join the federal and provincial parties you think you can make the most progress toward electoral reform by being a member. Push for ER at the meetings.

A nice side-effect of being involved in political parties is that in addition to getting to vote in the public elections, you also get to vote for your local candidate and the party leader.

You’re being disingenuous saying voters walk away every time. There are over half a dozen different ways of implementing PR. Show me an example for each type of PR where the voters walked away.

Also, out of the 74 democratic countries in the world, 2/3rds of them use some type of PR voting, so how about you show the reasons why these Canadian voters walked away from PR when 2/3rds of the world’s democracies have it and want it.
