Who do you think most NHL players and coaches voted for? Liberal? Tories? Stayed home?
Most NHLers I suspect are Conservative. Bobby Orr endorsed Trump, and Gretzky is a well known Conservative.
However, there have been some Liberal hockey players in the past. Ken Dryden was an MP, and Frank Mahovlich was a Senator.
With only one result to be finalized and one recount to come, I think I can be safe in putting these up:
First, a results map shaded according to the winners' margin of victory:
Second, a map shaded according to the winners' percentage of the vote:
Finally, a map shaded according to the swing:
If you are to do this, I wouldn't include the Bloc on the same side as the LPC. Either a third pole or the right. The Bloc doesn't have an ideology these days besides localism, but that localism ties it at the hip to the CAQ and Legault. We all know that if Bloc+CPC was over 170 we would have PM O'Toole. But the Bloc isn't a CPC ally, and if it was a two-party system the Bloc would still play the part of a regional party. Of course, if it was a two party system, the Liberal party would lose voters to the CPC as in picks up the present NDP base - ending us up close to 50-50, but that is a whole other can of worms.
It might make sense to allot ~60% of Lib votes to the left, and ~40% to the right on any such map.
depends on there background outside of hockey.
