Other than the page of Proportional Representation Review, Canadian periodicals seldom reported on the large proportion of votes that were not actually used to elect anyone under FPTP, and most periodicals did just as poor a job of reporting the high proportion of votes that were actually used to elect someone under PR-STV. (This is pretty much the same even today.)
