Macleod.

Reserves excluding the Sarcee suburb provided only 27% of Wolf Child's vote. Less than I thought, which explains things. And actually less than of the Liberal vote (36%!). But just 1% of the Green vote, 0.3% of the Tory vote (those two Sarcee precincts provided these two with more votes than all the other reservation areas together), 3% of the NDP vote.

Onrez (without those Sarcee places) combined:
Liberal 76%, Wolf Child 13%, NDP 4%
Offrez (also without those Sarcee places)
Tory 79%, NDP 6.6%, Green 6.22%, Liberal 6.19%

Three (or perhaps rather four, two of them quite close to each other?) urban areas, each of them with an east-west split. Quite an interesting map.

EDIT: Seems that Thorold merges pretty seamlessly into St Catherines, and the NDP area at the far north of the map is in central St Catherines someplace. I suppose we need a combined Welland - St Catherines map now.

They have had a relevant presence there for decades (except in the 90s of course...) but never broke through to second place. Which means they would have always been hurt by tactical voting.

Quite a strong geographic divide there.

Stoney Creek votes Liberal, I see?

Echoed!

Here's Edmonton. (I will and try post other cities soon. I will have to update make some modifications to spreadsheet first.)

Yellow in Edmonton - Sherwood Park is James Ford (Independent)

What is that big red poll in the bottom left?  That seems odd in the rural areas.  Is it an Indian Reserve by any chance as this would be the only logical possibility.

Yes.

One (anecdotal, I admit) thing re Churchill as well as Kenora and Desnethe-Missinippi-Churchill River: I distantly know a guy in Toronto who's from a tiny place way up at the north end of Kenora riding, and he calls both his people and his native language "Oji-Cree", because, he says, the boundary between the more central-Ontario Ojibwe and the more northern Cree is pretty vague up there, with dialects gradually becoming more similar

This is correct.

Sweet.

That kind of odd precinct boundary makes me think it's probably a Reserve.

What's that Liberal place on the Megantic-L'Erable map?

Prince Edward map not showing up.

Thanks!

Alberta...most rural ridings are about as dark blue as you can get, but there are some exceptions:

Whatever it's called, I ask that Stoney Reserve be added to it asap.
