Wasn't the Liberal candidate in Brandon-Souris the 9/11 conspiracy woman? Would explain why the Liberals collapsed there.

That would be (Winnipeg) Kildonan-St Paul. Lesley Hughes ran for the Liberals.

The 2000 (and 1997) results are available at:
http://www.elections.ca/content.asp?section=gen&document=index&dir=rep/37d&lang=e&textonly=false.

Some info on polling numbers and polling boundaries. (I agree with the506 - see last post)

1 - 299 - Regular Polling Areas
400 Series - Special Polling Areas - Mostly Apartment Blocks (Student Residences)
500 Series - Mobile Polls - Hospital and Personal Care Homes.
600 Series - Advance polls.

Depending on the Apartment Block and Electoral District some will be treated as Regular Polling Areas, and some will be treated as the 400 Series.

Many of the the large apartment complex in Winnipeg have their own boundaries.
Other use the 400 Series Numbers.

Polling areas tend to keep the same boundaries during each election, even after redistribution.
Most of the polling division from 2000 (under 1996 Redistribution Order) are the same as 2008. (The only difference are the riding name and poll number).
Poll Numbers tend to keep the same poll number during the current redistribution.

However, there are some expections:

1) If a polling areas sees an increase in population (new sub-divsion). Then the polling division is spilt. (ie 94 will become 94, 94-1, 94-2, etc.(There are some polls that have been spilt 10 times 94, 94-1 to 94-9)

2) Sometimes the polling station becomes too large (too late to change the boundaries), then there is what I called an Alpha Spilt. (Those whose last name begin with A-N vote in 94A, those with M-Z vote in 94B)

3) In some electoral districts with a large increase in voters, they will just renumber each and every poll.

The field EMPR_NAME contains both the Poll Number and the suffix.

I was able to create an additional field that combines the FED_NUM, PD_NUM, and PD_NBR_SFX.
(This will alot easier to link election data and polling maps)

example 35-101-67-1 (Poll # 67-1 in Windsor-Tecumseh)

I'm having the same problem.
I go to Election Maps - International.
I see a pile of maps,
At the bottom of the page  then "Return to Gallery", "SMF Gallery", and then "log-out"

I could post them using Photobucket or Flickr.

Winnipeg has been done. (From Page 8 )

Winnipeg:



EC actually says a First Nations Party candidate won a poll in Winnipeg Centre with 46 votes to Pat Martin's 3...yeah right. It's probably a repeat of that time in 2000 when the networks showed the Marxists-Leninists leading one of the Mississauga seats for a while.
