Canada seems to be headed toward a two party system. I think it’s extremely important that we as Canadians push for electoral reform as quickly as possible.

The third party never forms a government but that does not mean it does not have an impact on national politics. See my other comment.
A three party system is completely different than a two party system even if only two of the parties have ever held a majority.
The NDP has been the official opposition. There are times, as in many minority governments, where the third party has more impact on national policy than the opposition does (via alliances).
