No. Ranked ballot is literally the worst electoral reform. It doesn't lead to proportional representation. It just favours the most moderate party, since they would be everyone's second choice. We need something like STV or MMPR

STV is one of many voting systems based on ranked ballots.

While it would tend towards more moderate, it would also lean towards the side most Canadians prefer naturally.

Still better than first-past-the-post.

I'm struggling to see the downside here.
