The Liberals are in a coalition with the NDP, combined the two parties received a majority of the popular vote.

A better example would be Doug Ford in Ontario. Ford's Conservatives received only 41% of the popular vote but took 67% of the seats.

The First Past The Post System needs to be retired, it is anti-democratic. Either run-offs or a ranked ballot voting system would be better.

Approval voting or proportional representation would be better, but sure
