Anything about First Nations people?

Which province?

Any.

Though Quebec, Satch and Manibota would be interesting. (And Metis too, if they are counted as separate.)

I'll make a few maps.

Time for a few maps again.

First of, Aboriginal identity in northern AB, SK, MB, and ON (I'll get around to Quebec and Newfoundland a bit later). Larger (http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh225/hashemite/AboriginalNorth.png)

Working on a Montreal linguistic map now.

Include remainder of AB please - large native concentrations in Southern parts of state (Blackfeet reserves) as well.

Kind of.

Edmonton

()

larger (https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/GALLERY/2007_03_10_08_8_46_50.png)

Given its demographics, one would expect Edmonton-Strathcona to be a Liberal-Conservative marginal, not an NDP-Conservative marginal (and vice-versa for Edmonton Centre, although that won't be marginal this year).

Not really demographics, but I didn't want to create a useless thread.

Great stuff; all of it :)

Sure, I'll get to it tomorrow. Or when I have time ;D

The region with the best riding in all of Canada. (https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/GALLERY/2007_13_10_08_8_10_41.png)

()

Cookie to whoever guesses which constituency I'm referring to.

Not necessarily. In many instances, lower income people vote Liberal while people with degrees vote NDP, as is the case for Edmonton as it appears. Same goes for Ottawa and Toronto.

I hope than this is not Andre Arthur's riding, Portneuf--Jacques-Cartier. But you originate from around Saint-Malo and Jacques Cartier is from Saint-Malo, so that is perhaps the best riding.

I also hope than this is not Saint-Maurice--Champlain, the old riding of The Embarrassment, Jean Chretien.

Don't Mess with the 'ti Gars! (http://Don't Mess with the 'ti Gars!)

It's certainly not any of those two.

Any specific requests?

If somebody has way too much time on their hands, I would like a map of all areas that have ever been won by the NDP in a general election, if possible with shadings for how often.

I could provide the data - the trouble would lie in making the maps though (you'd basically have to overlay seven different sets of riding maps, though only for the areas the party has done well in throughout.)

I'd do that, but I can't get pre-2004 redistribution maps, unless somebody gives a link to some base maps for that.

Bump. Requests?

*blows dust off thread*

The DGEQ has demographic profiles for all 125 Quebecois constituencies.

()

Mont-Royal is... er... a surprise.

The constituency includes quite a few poorer social housing developments. Mont-Royal itself isn't even in the constituency (half is in Outremont, the other half in whatever they call Westmount).

()

(been lurking on the forum a little while - Canadian, though now living in New Jersey)

I assume you mean the mountain? The Town of Mount Royal is in this riding, and is quite rich, so it is a bit surprising. But the riding also includes a lot of Côte-des-Neiges, a very poor immigrant area of Montreal proper.

Yes, the mountain of course.

Saskatchewan, like Quebec and BC publishes stats by provincial constituency. However, Manitoba doesn't seem to do so (communities only, IIRC), Alberta is Alberta, and Newfies live up to the stereotype.

Here is average (not median, apparently) HH income in Saskatoon and Regina. (https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/GALLERY/2007_19_04_09_8_18_15.png

()

If anybody has a blank map of the new BC constituencies, I need to do some maps. So please, get me a map! ;)

I will be making one soon

Before the election would be cool!

Bump.

Mississauga and Brampton. Larger version (https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/GALLERY/2007_07_08_09_1_59_26.png)

Could you do a map of the top highest income ridings?

Explain, mar plij?

Interesting to see that the one Mississauga riding has basically inner-city demographics.

Mississauga East-Cooksville, I think. It's the most Liberal, anyways.

()

If that is an attempt to make fun of Canada, it is a fail.

just a map of an igloo guys

That is not Canada. This igloo is unilingual!

The Pundits' Guide has just set up a totally awesome database that ranks all the ridings in the country by various demographic features - a great procrastination tool for those interested in the topic of this thread...

http://www.punditsguide.ca/census_e.php

I made a few religious maps in the gallery, after I saw this. I am willing to take requests.

Even though it's one of the least politically relevant statistics, I kind of think maps by transportation mode would be cool.

Top 10 Arab ridings:

1.   11.1%   Saint-Laurent – Cartierville, QC
2.   8.2%   Ottawa South, ON
3.   7.7%   Ahuntsic, QC
4.   6.6%   Saint-Léonard – Saint-Michel, QC
5.   5.8%   Bourassa, QC
6.   5.8%   Westmount – Ville-Marie, QC
7.   5.6%   Laval – Les Îles, QC
8.   5.2%   Outremont, QC
9.   5.2%   Windsor West, ON
10.   4.6%   Pierrefonds – Dollard, QC

Most Arab riding held by the Tories is Ottawa West–Nepean, 3.9% Arab.

FTR, Arabs in Ahuntsic don't vote Bloc.

These lists sound fun. I'll do more.

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.

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


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


Bourgeois urban area + uni


Bourgeois urban area


Uni, civil servants, etc


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


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


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).


Bourgeois urban area


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


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

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.

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.

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.

Look at the poll maps.
