Is this going to be an excellent wish-list for the person most likely to split our vote and cause PP to be elected?

You really victim blaming here, when it was the Justin Trudeau liberals fault for sabotaging electoral reform by engaging in bad faith with the commission on electoral reform and for voting against the Motion M-86 that would've established a non-partisan citizen's assembly that would've recommended the best electoral system for our democracy. The liberals were the ones to risk the vote split not the ndp.

rank-choice voting as a baseline.

That's not an upgrade. It has the same adversarial politics, lack of accountability and the continued over-representation of the two big political parties. Australia is behind on various international rankings while Norway is often ranked 1st place with proportional representation. Also when the liberals had a majority from 2015-2019 they didn't care about implementing ranked choice voting back then when they had every chance to do so, it's meant as a distraction from the real electoral upgrade.
