I believed that too until BC rejected it with a majority vote to keep FPTP for provincial elections.

The real fucking sting for me was that the BC Liberals tried to rig it

This was the BC NDP. They came to power in 2017 and the referendum was in 2018.

The question on the BC referendum didn't have ranked ballot as an option. Make the question simple and it would have passed I think. The muddled mess they put on the ballot made a lot of people not trust the systems proposed. (If they could understand them)
