Should Mexico switch to a proportional representation voting system?
Currently, Canada's electoral system is based on a "first past the post" system. The candidate with the most votes in a riding wins a seat in the House of Commons and represents that riding as its Member of Parliament. The Governor General asks the Members of Parliament to form a government, which is normally the party whose candidates have won the most seats; that party's leader generally becomes Prime Minister. An absolute majority of the electorate is not needed, and is rarely achieved. As a result, power has been held by either of two parties for most of Canada's history. The party whose candidates win the second largest number of seats becomes the Official Opposition.

No, but switch to a popular voting system.

No, we should cancel voting.
Yes, but only for electing members of Congress and with an instant runoff for the election of the President and Governors

There should be no political parties that necessitate proportionality
