Scarborough is another area that is trending NDP big time.

I know NDP-Tory swing voters are a rarity in Ontario, but if the NDP replaces the Liberals as the opposition (in the long run, I mean), then you will definitely see more. Where else will a disgruntled Tory run. The Liberals? Not if they are some fringe party. Boom, the NDP gets some votes.

*sigh*

There are six pages of job postings on the NDP website, and not a single one that a non bilingual person can apply to.

I will never get to work on the Hill!

Why don't you learn French?

Lack of patience, mostly. But even a basic level of French wouldn't be good for those kinds of offices. I would have to be full on bilingual :/

edit: I was looking through some old articles, and Roll Eyes. The largest newspaper in Timmins-James Bay, and my city's own, is such a Conservative shill. link. They seem to be under the impression that the only issue affecting people in Northern Ontario is the long-gun registry, and not things such as a declining forestry industry, losing 700 local jobs due to the closing of Xstrata Copper, threats to our vast lakes and forests, and a negligent federal and provincial government. It's no wonder why every other party other than the NDP gets shut out here, they think we're single issue voters who care more about guns than livelihood. Idiots.

lulz. Angus did suffer a bit, and Tony Martin a lot (did he flip flop too?), but that article was seeming to think a barber shop poll would be accurate? Where was this barber shop? Timmins? Good chance Timmins didn't even go NDP, or at least not where this barber show is. (Timmins is the most anti-NDP part of the district)

I heard the NDP won more polls than the Liberals in Toronto Centre, as the Tories won Rosedale and the NDP won the rest of the riding, so the Liberals won the riding by finishing 2nd in both areas.

Doesn't matter if you voted Liberal or Tory, you're wrong either way ;-)

Considering those are the only two parties to have ever former government, it must mean many other Canadians are wrong too.

Yup! Cheesy

Believe it or not, some of the Quebec Tory MPs of the 80s were quite left wing. Look at current BQ MP Louis Plamondon who got his start with the Tories of the 80s.

No. I don't think so.
Louis Plamondon is on the right-wing of the BQ, I think.

As the former right-wing Bloc MPs, I can cite Pierre Brien, MP for Témiscamingue for 1993 to 2003, when he resigned to run for the ADQ in Rouyn-Noranda--Témiscamingue, before leaving in 2008, because he thought than ADQ was a dead end.

He was hired as a special councillor to Christian Paradis, the "leader" of Quebec CPC in 2009, and resigned after three months.

He returned to BQ and PQ after that and recently wrote in the newspapers than the only solution, no matter if we are on the left or on the right is BQ/PQ, because Ontario is ruling all Canada, in short.

Well, the OVR are out... just  not online.  We had a meeting today, and the NDP candidate in Ottawa South showed me the poll by poll results, and we won 3 polls and tied 2 others! Cheesy (that's big news for that riding)

I thought he left the NDP so to not seem like a partisan mayor... although near the end of his term, I think he had quite a few separate issues.

Yeah, Miller's not that popular any more... maybe he should go to Winnipeg to run there (to compensate for the fact that the former mayor of Winnipeg is now the MPP for Toronto Centre)

Some surprises include the NDP winning northern New Brunswick with just one seat (wow!) and doing better in the rest of Quebec compared to Montreal.

Why does everyone include Parry Sound-Muskoka in Northern Ontario? geez. It's hardly northern.

To someone from Toronto, Barrie is in northern Ontario.  The Northern Ontario boundary is a bit tricky; certainly much of Parry Sound District is culturally in Northern Ontario (it is a district, after all). Also, due to this fact, the Ontario government treats the area as if it were Northern Ontario (secondary highways, local services boards, etc). Also, Most of Parry Sound District is considered as part of Northern Ontario when it comes to the Northern Ontario curling team. However, there is that traditional border of the French and Mattawa Rivers. Anyways, I have a cottage in northern Parry Sound District, so I should know Wink

Nice to see the NDP win Vancouver, but it's a shame they didn't do better on the island.

The NDP's worst riding was Crowfoot, and they still managed to finish 2nd there.

First off the mark. If you check out interrnational elections, I have the first riding done poll by poll, Ottawa South, one of the 34 Liberals seats...

Ah, cool. James  McLaren told me the NDP won 3 polls and tied 2 others, so this makes sense.

The indy vote %s are all here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_candidates,_2011_Canadian_federal_election I did those a week or so ago.

Right now I'm doing Canada with AV for my blog. Should be ready in a few days. I have the Tories winning a minority with it.

Ah yes, Georges Laracque. Canadians parties like to have hockey players amongst their midst.  I recall at the 2008 NDP convention, Andrew Ferrence spoke to us. No way he could be a candidate though, considering he gave the finger to Montreal fans in the playoffs... and well I'm sure he would hurt in Vancouver.

I guess with Dryden out, the only hockey playing parliamentarian is Sen. Frank Mahovalich?
