Because we haven't had much GTA coverage in this thread....Trinity-Spadina:

I currently live here. I'm actually living in UoT residences FYI. Where are these places?

Also do Toronto Central, Toronto Danforth and Mississauga South please.

Since when have you been in Canada?

Since Last Month (June 14th to be precise). There was a thread about it here, but I'm not bothered to find it right now.

I'm currently posting from a free internet service (for those with Student VISAs) in Downtown Toronto.

... University college, right? *shakes fist*

No. New College.

Good work everyone. Keep it up.

As a novice in knowledge of Canadian Politics can someone explain why Ottawa (or at least its suburbs) and Quebec City have such a strong conservative vote.

"Bourgeois cities in voting Conservative shock" or something like that. Though it's more complicated as both were traditionally Liberal and class politics has never played that well in eastern Canada. Think high-tech stuff had something to do with the switch in Ottawa.

Usually Civil Servants and government workers vote for parties that support enlarging the role of government/ public sector unions - at least from my experience (though I'm guessing Civil Servants are mostly concentrated in the City Centres and make up large parts of the Liberal/Bloc Vote). Though obviously I don't really know much of the details exactly that are specific to Ottawa/QC.

...and note that the cores of these cities, the places where the aforementioned live, don't vote Tory.

Thus the comment in bold.
