The areas where the NDP polled the highest in the north part of the riding (Mile-End) was where the NDP polled the highest in the 2006 election. The rest of the orange areas voted Bloc last time, and so you can see the huge swing towards the NDP.The Hasidim live in the northeast of the riding. It's not in the heaviest NDP-voting region (that's the Plateau and Mile End) but just a little north of there in the very long and thin catchment areas (sorry, can't think of the term for those jurisdictional boundaries) where NDP support isn't as strong.
The heaviest Liberal areas are the Plateau and Centreville in the south and the immigrant enclaves in the north - Jamaicans, Italians, and Portuguese, mostly.
So, you're saying the Hasidic areas voted NDP inspite of it being Hasidic?
He's saying they didn't vote monolithically.
