Manitoba election 2016

Realized no one made a final map, so here it is (official results):

I know this is called the "Atlas" Forum, but why all the interest in maps.  To quote Rita Johnson in her 1991 debate with Mike Harcourt (and Gordon Wilson) "we want the numbers, Mike."

And just like Mike Harcourt was back then, anybody who doesn't provide the numbers is "gutless."

Of course, if you disagree with me on this, that would just be "another classic example of why nothing ever gets done in the legislature Atlas Forum." 

This is an Atlas forum. If you don't like election maps, you can leave

Trend:

Anyone know what's up with the east-west difference in Winnipeg? Normally I think of Winnipeg as having more of a north-south division.

As mentioned, retiring incumbents have something to do with it, but also the east end of Winnipeg has been trending to the right federally as well (remember when Elmwood-Transcona unexpectedly went Conservative in 2011?) I suspect it's suburbanizing somewhat (though the area of Winnipeg that is expanding is in the SW which actually trended to the NDP), or wealthier people are moving in? Perhaps someone in Manitoba can answer this question better.

But the swings in two of the divisions in the federal Elmwood-Transcona division were at the lower end and the class division in Winterpeg is historically North/South rather than East/West. Of course the numbers aren't greatly different for most of the more suburban ridings so maybe its just one of those weird cases where a pattern is created in the act of mapping.

The swing in Transcona was quite large (but not in the rest of Elmwood-Transcona), but that has more to do with a lack of incumbent.
