America's problems are coming to Canada. The need for a renewal of the grossly outdated politcal system is real and pressing

It will happen and is happening. Outdated political system based on the 17'th century blueprints and made for the society centuries ago cannot serve the needs of a complex and diverse modern society. It will run, that is, will be run into the wall, if not renewed. We have seen how it happens and it will happen here. The writing is on the wall. Political dinosaurs who run it bath and guzzle in it, will do nothing and have no interest in any meaningful change. They won't notice anything all the way to the point of impact and can't even be interested in looking out. To them, all is going exactly as it should. No change is needed, forever.

People do not have an unlimited time to act. A party of change, responsible clean government plus a massive overhaul of the outdated and throttling political system. Beginning with fair and accurate representation. That may very well be the last chance to avoid it.

Democracy has always been remodeled around New Media. This includes the printing press, radio, and television. Now it's time for social media to merge with politics and produce something new. 

And hopefully better.

A more updated political system was developed and emerged in the 1920s-30s

A hallmark of the binary political system is the isolation of the citizenry from politics to the maximum extent possible. It was supposed to be a good thing when the populace was generally dim and ignorant, to prevent really crazy outbreaks of idiocracy like witch hunts and such. But on the over side of the coin it tends to be extremely opaque and resistant to change. The elites that form ostensibly different political clans, having very little to do with genuine parliamentary democracy have mutual interests and intersperse creating an opaque cloud of self-centered and self-serving pseudo-democratic governments that can be grossly inefficient and in the later stages, anti-democratic.

The system is preferred by semi- and about- democracies in the third world due to its opacity and affinity to corruption. In a small number of the first world democracies it's still used it's running into deep and systemic problems or crisis. This is no coincidence as it directly relates to the intent and founding principles of this system.
