[Bacon King]

FTR, Arabs in Ahuntsic don't vote Bloc.

Why, do they elsewhere?

Not in large numbers, no. Just pointing that out in case anybody thought they did. The only minorities which may (it's hard to check) have support are Francophone immigrants from Haiti, Algeria and so forth. But still, immigrants are not hard-core nats.

[Sibboleth]

From memory... expect to be wrong on most of these...

1.   50.5%   Westmount – Ville-Marie, QC

Uni (I think...), bourgeois urban areas, presumably yuppy types in city centre also.

2.   49.4%   Vancouver Quadra, BC

Bourgeois urban area + uni

3.   46.3%   St. Paul's, ON

Bourgeois urban area

4.   45.1%   Ottawa Centre, ON

Uni, civil servants, etc

5.   44.5%   Trinity – Spadina, ON

Uni, yuppies... maybe civil servants for the provincial government, but that might just be a memory fail.

6.   43.9%   Toronto Centre, ON

Some bourgeois urban areas, yuppies... can't remember whether there's a uni there as well.

7.   43.9%   Outremont, QC   

Uni, presumably some yuppiefied areas (though maybe not, can't quite remember), think Outremont proper is pretty bourgeois (even if the rest of the riding isn't).

8.   43.8%   Don Valley West, ON

Bourgeois urban area

9.   43.2%   Vancouver Centre, BC

Yuppies, presumably. Maybe a uni as well - can't remember how many Vancouver has.

10.   43.1%   Willowdale, ON   

Um... trying to remember where this is... Toronto inner suburbia, I think. Presumably pretty posh.

[Hashemite]

Outremont has Miles-End (or Mile-End, whatever), a yuppie (though not really affluent) area of the Plateau.

Interesting; I was under the assumption that Asians in BC voted Liberal.

Interesting; I was under the assumption that Asians in BC voted Liberal.

They used to, but they are Socially Conservative.

A lot of the Chinese voting Liberal, I think, has to do with the tradition of voting Liberal provincially.

Maybe that also explains the East Asians (I think) in the other Vancouver suburbia voting NDP federally, since the NDP isn't really the immigrant party, in, say, Ontario or Quebec.

Plus, they are used to Social Democratic Parties from back home. They don't vote NDP in Ontario, because they all live in Peel Region, which is anti-NDP suburbia.

FTR, Arabs in Ahuntsic don't vote Bloc.

They don't vote for Maria Mourani, the BQ MP, who said than government should talk with Hezbollah and who said than Isreal made war crimes in Lebanon? I'm surprised.
