Canada goes proportional?

Anthony Barnett (London, OK): Thanks to Direct Democracy I've just seen  this report on their regular email: "The Economist reports that the province of Ontario in Canada is to hold a referendum on introducing Proportional Representation (Mixed Member PR for the electoral reform anoraks) to replace the current first-past-the-post system used for provincial elections. The referendum was the main outcome of an independent citizens' assembly on electoral reform set up by the provincial government last year. The Economist suggests that If the referendum produces a 'yes' vote in Ontario, it is likely that it will also be introduced at federal level in the near future."
