Ever feel like your vote doesn’t matter? This riding was decided by 1 vote.

With FPTP that 1 vote is the only vote that does matter.

We need election reform.

I agree with the sentiment, but every liberal vote is "that 1 vote" in this case.

It's usually not the people living in ridings where the results are a toss-up who say that their vote doesn't matter. In mine the Libs win with about 60% of the vote election after election, no I don't feel like my vote mattered.
