Canadian Election Atlas

Well, what do you all think of an idea of a Canadian version of this site?

It would be nice to have a community of contributors to help out.

Here's what I have so far: http://canadianelectionatlas.blogspot.com/

I'm currently working on a series of (micro) regional profiles of different communities in Ontario.

  Sounds great.  Once the poll by poll comes out, I will try to produce some municipal and county maps for Canada.  If any others want to contribute that would be great.  Also the poll by poll maps were great last time around.  It would be interesting to see those and see where the major changes happened.  I suspect outside Quebec and GTA, only the shade of the colours will change, not the actual colours, but in the GTA I suspect there will be a lot more orange and blue, while Quebec will have rather little tourquoise and a lot of orange.

Excellent. I can either make you an admin, or I can just put your maps up and give you credit. Also, I can make maps if you can provide the #s like last time, and then thank you for it.

Either way works good for me.  Depending on when the polls come out, I may not start making the maps until August as I am on vacation in Europe in July, but certainly I will work on them once I get back.  I also plan to use the maps from 2008 and just change the colours which when done by municipality and county outside Quebec, I think most of the changes will be in shades not actual colour.  Quebec is off course a whole different story although much of the changes will simply changing the tourquoise to orange.

Hmmm, I have a good idea to bide the time. I can make a 2008 Census Division map (with shades), perhaps we can start on 2006 as well? 2004?

Pundit's guide has poll maps for 2000, we can do them as well. (the results are somewhere on the elections Canada website)

I can assure you the NDP did not win the old city of Ottawa. They may have finished 2nd, however. By the looks of things the results were:

Lib: 70,000
NDP: 65,000
Tories: 65,000

Tories: 65,000

Similiar to the 416 and Vancouver proper as they were both three way splits.  I believe half of John Baird's riding is in the old city so that is probably where the Tories got many of their votes and in Ottawa South the NDP as usual didn't do that well.  They did win Ottawa Centre by a large margin and the Tories came in second here.  Do you have any actual data or links to any or was this just what the riding association provided?

The only info I saw is what the candidate in Ottawa South showed me; he didn't give me the information, unfortunately. The NDP won 3 polls and tied 2 others.

By the way, I was just compiling the census division map, and I noticed you never did the NWT.

  True I never did NWT.  Maybe this time we can try.  Last time around all the division maps I got were before it was split into Nunavut and NWT thus the reason I never did it.  In the case of Southern Ontario outside of Toronto, Hamilton, and Ottawa, I could certainly do a map using the 2000 census divisions although I suspect it will be all blue either way as the Tories got over 50% in much of Southern Ontario outside the cities so I am not sure it will make much difference, but I would certainly be willing to do one though.

By 2000, I mean the 2000 election. I was referring to doing past elections. Not past census divisions.

Oh, and because I momentarily can't be bothered selecting a profile to respond on-site, may I offer one little clarification: in Beaches-East York, to use the "Woodbine Heights" neighbourhood catchall for the strongest Liberal zone is deceptive, because the outsize Grit support there is largely limited to the Crescent Town development (and outside the former East York, in the Sunrise/O'Connor/Vic Park apartments)--elsewhere in Woodbine Heights, the Liberals are actually not far from or even below par...

Ahh, thank you. I'm relying on MapArt maps, having little knowledge of Toronto neighbourhoods.

I have maps of 1917 and 1921 in Ontario, and the necessary maps to make 1925, 1926 and 1930 as well.

Really? Let's see them! Where did you get a base map?

CD map posted. I had a shaded one going, but it didn't save properly, so I made this one quick.

Was just checking it out and it looks great! You've obviously invested a good deal of time and effort in it. Anyway, if you want to use any of my work, maps, etc, feel free and no need to credit me - I'm happy to see it as my contribution.

Excellent. I'm going to steal all your maps from the gallery then ;-)

I'm starting to work on some of the subpages. I made a map of the Calgary mayoral election in the municipal elections page. I'll add more over the course of time.
