Metropolitan Toronto - Provincial Elections

[deansherratt]

Here is a link to older maps that I did...Toronto in the 1971 and 1975 provincial elections. I am seated in the 1975 photo to show perspective...it was a BIG map - all hand coloured by graduated winning margins which were calculated "in my head".

Renfrew was traditionally Liberal in its politics, though socially very Conservative. There are substantial Polish settlements (see Barry's Bay), also a large military contingent (but that vote has shifted Tory now) and civil servants (?) living in Deep River (nuclear workers?)

Indeed, there are a lot of Catholics in Renfrew. that may have been important awhile ago, but not now.

However, Deep River voted Liberal again...probably the only place in the riding that did so. Petawawa was very Conservative, like its soldiers SVR - I vote which was 5-1!

Good stuff Maxque! Very quick research. However I expect that Renfrew changes less than many other places, though there has been an incremental increase in "No religion".
