We've already failed to pass it twice now (once in BC and once in Ontario), how many chances will we get before people give up for a long time? I see the provincial process as a test run for national reform, let one province try STV and one MMP and we can decide later which is better. But they are all , way better than first past the post.

I assume it's "first past the post", one seat with no (instant) run-off for each electoral area. Anyone know what voting procedure is used in these metro board elections?
