2011 Canadian election maps

I love Shilly maps.

I don't smoke, drink, gamble or chase women; I just like to make election maps.

I've no idea who you are but that sounds very very promising. And we'll fix the part about the drinking yet. Welcome!

I take it the southern end of Ahuntsic is anglo?

[minionofmidas]

...and they had.

[minionofmidas]

Kingston would be very very interesting.

I think there is some bizarre rule that you need so and so many posts to do that, Teddy. Because, you see, he's a brand new account so he's probably a spambot.

I take it the southern end of Ahuntsic is anglo?

No, allophone. That dividing line is St. Laurent Blvd, the historical division between French and English/allophone. It's extremely marked in Papineau, where the area south of St. Laurent is very allophone. NDP did poorer with Anglos and allophones in Quebec.

I thought all of Ahuntsic was pretty much allophone.
That road being Boulevard Saint Laurent makes sense to me.

What's the dipper area in Kingston like? Also, what's the town just outside the riding to the west?

I thought all of Ahuntsic was pretty much allophone.

If that was the case do you think Ahuntsic would ever have elected a BQ MP in the first place. The Bloc Quebecois literally gets ZERO votes among non-francophones.

Yah, not really. Though this may be a definitional issue. Quebec gets very different immigration than the rest of Canada, some of these people speak French better than English, some of these peoples' descendants - such as the Bloc MP here - maybe count as Francophone to Canadian political observers? And anyways, some of these groups are much more open to voting for the Bloc than others. I don't really know where to draw the lines and how we define the terms here.

Ontario maps are now ready...

Enjoy!

Nice. Can't wait for the west...

[minionofmidas]

506, you are awesome!

Miles - it may not necessarily be racially driven, just that like many other areas, the First Nations population votes NDP, and like in many other areas, the (white) rural areas vote Conservative. It may be demographic without being racial, if you follow my drift.

From some stuff I've had said to me from conservative or just apolitical people in Alberta ... no. Definitely not.

Two of the four precincts on the Siksika (aka Blackfoot proper) reservation are reported with the exact same result, or is that an error?
I hope it is. On these figures the CPC won the rez (summed) by one vote.

[minionofmidas]

So those votes were only cast once? Ie, the NDP won Siksika?
Well, that's a relief. -_-
