Canada Votes Against Voting Against People?

The following post is largely Canada-centric.

Here’s a live stream of Lady Gaga’s HBO presentation of the Monster Ball as appeasement.

However, if you don’t know much about the Canadian political system and are interested, this post might help.
So, my personal political views, as I probably have intimated, are largely left-wing. I’m not super happy with the majority Conservative government which has just been elected, but I’m thrilled with the NDP as official opposition. I want to talk about another thing here – this election seems to have had a backlash against strategic voting.
The first-past-the-post electoral system and its flaws have convinced many people to vote strategically. That is, rather than voting FOR the party of your preference, vote AGAINST a certain party by voting for the party most likely to beat them in your riding. Websites like ProjectDemocracy.ca help you figure out how you should vote.
It’s a morally frustrating and unhappy way to vote, always voting against rather than voting for. But it’s what we have to do often. But it’s what we don’t want to do.
Example:

Let’s say you hate Party A and would personally like to vote for Party B. However, Parties C and D are also running in your riding (~ electoral district). If we’re voting strategically, and Party C has a better chance of beating A than B does in your district, you should probably vote for Party B’s candidate.

So what does this election’s result mean? I think it means that Canadians are not happy just with strategic voting. And that, at the base of it, means that we are not happy with our electoral system.
Some good points against strategic voting are shown here, I personally think the answer is electoral reform, preferably in something close to proportional representation.
