The real aim of democracy is to provide a stable transition between governments that doesn't involve violence. It allows people to choose government and create the transition. FPTP has done that very well for Canada. It has forced major parties to adopt policies of broad appeal in order to get broad support. It has also prevented governments from being beholden to fringe views. You're going to have a hard time making the case that we need change based on some made up concept of subjective fairness.
