Well, there's 107 seats, so I guess 2 per seat? Not sure why there needs to be 2.

From the LG's Twitter feed: what a writ looks like. 214 of them.


Why 214 of them?

2 copies for each seat?

Would that imply that Her Majesty has to sign 1300 of them when the UK has an election?

Straight from the CBC Ontario Votes website, the Ontario Riding Finder:



Anyone else recognize the map?


Also, approx. 6% of the working people in Sudbury riding are employed by the mining industry, slightly less than a 'majority'.

It shouldn't be that expensive to copy paste stuff from their 2011 Ontario map Tongue

Returning to the discussion on 1985, was the post-election PC government sworn in, or was it still in caretaker mode?

Are there two writs per riding because one is in English and the other in French? In answer to the UK question, I think that most Westminster parliaments, the writs are issued for each seat at a general election, not one for the entire parliament, however I could be wrong. Antony Green posted about it, I believe, and uploaded a picture of an Australian one.

Premier Frank Miller's new Cabinet was sworn in on May 17, 1985.  David Peterson didn't take office until June 26.

Love how they appointed a man as Minister of women's issues. A bit like appointing a White person to Indian Affairs... oh wait.

But it was still a caretaker government whose "confidence" was based on the pre-election PC majority government. They never passed a Throne Speech so it was never a "real" government

Paul Bliss explains the writs: one's for the returning officer, other's for the Official Documents Officer of Ontario.

Why Horwath's heading SW.

Why is the NDP all of a sudden popular in Southwestern Ontario? Outside of Windsor, it's not exactly traditional NDP territory. Perhaps it's the economy?

No idea. But as the article says, they're trying to hold what they have plus knock off Piruzza and Matthews.

I think that's part of it, the economy is much more manufacturing based even in the smaller cities, last election the NDP performed rather well, breaking through the 20-25 in most ridings (I'm ok to be correct with actual #s) and had a number of strong candidates, also the success of the NDP in winning all 4 of the by-elections, Andrea has been focusing huge effort in this region.
The NDP has a history there going back to 1990 (but i guess that can be factor out as a "fluke"); even before that the NDP has a history in the urban areas as you mentioned like Windsor-Essex, but also Cambridge, Brantford, Niagara... You have to go back to the 40's to the CCF days when they used to win Waterloo, Wellington and Lambton area seats.

NDP: lower hydro bills.

Hudak should take Ivison's advice.
