Eglinton-Lawrence was Conservative before and has a large Orthodox Jewish population, but Scarborough-Agincourt actually defy the trend and saw its Conservative vote increase.

There may be a difference federally and provincially also.

Depends on the Chinese, doesn't it?

Are Chinese-Canadians likely to switch to Conservatives en masse in the near future?

They're already a solid Conservative constituency in the Vancouver metro, but not so much in Toronto. Still probably the most Conservative-friendly visible minority group in Toronto, though.

Consider how the Cons defied pundits and won the open Markham-Unionville seat while losing everything else around it.

And of course, monitor the Markham-Thornhill byelection.

They are more Conservative than Whites, or are at least in Scarborough-Agincourt. They still lean Liberal on the whole though.

If the party elects someone like Kellie Leitch as leader, then its support among Chinese Canadians and Jewish Canadians will collapse even more than average.

Mainstreet has a relevant poll of Toronto's voting intentions broken down by region: https://www.scribd.com/document/340703366/Mainstreet-Toronto-February-2017#from_embed

Federally, the Liberals lead by 30 in Scarb. and 22 in North York. Provincially, the PCs lead in Scarb. by 2 with the NDP in second but the OLP leads in North York over the PCs by 5.
