2011 Canadian election maps

[the506]

I'm almost done my national map. Should be done tomorrow.

Any requests?

London:


Montmagny-L'Islet-Kamouraska-Riviere du Loup:

Would a map of the BC Lower Mainland be possible?

HELL NO!

Fredericton poll-by-poll results Google-Maps-ified:

1 down, 307 to go.

The Tories did win every poll outside Fredericton, but you can zoom out and drag around to see them anyway.

Also, if I hadn't made it clear, you can click on any poll and the results will pop up.

I am planning on doing more ridings, eventually the whole country, but I'm playing around with some settings in my GIS program and Google Earth first to make it as efficient and less-bandwidth-hogging as possible.

Poll-by-poll maps for all of Atlantic Canada are now up....

Obviously it's still very much a work in progress, but here's a taste for now.

Labrador is interesting. Looks like the NDP could win Labrador West in the provincial election

Well, they did hold it before, but when the MHA in question is now in jail for corruption, I'm not sure how much of a sign that is.

What's up with the Green win in Sydney?

Looks like another transposed-number situation. Can't imagine the Greens actually getting 50 votes and the NDP only 3.

Quebec is now done.

FYI:
* I have to process each province individually since the GIS file for the whole country is just too big for my script to handle. Once that's done, I have to create the HTML page for each riding manually, and that takes a while. So Ontario probably won't be up til early next week.
* There were a couple ridings (Manicouagan, Megantic-L'Erable and Abitibi-Temiscamingue come to mind) where the Google maps files were too big to be displayed, so I had to simplify them a bit. Unfortunately, some accuracy was lost.
* I'm going to get around to adding the point polls once I finish this first.

With all that in mind....enjoy!

Ontario maps are now ready...

Enjoy!

Ooops...got Liberals and NDP reversed. I'll fix it.

[the506]

506, I demand you make more maps, on the grounds that I have no life, and thus, nothing else to look forward too

I've been having, well, a life lately.

More maps coming this weekend.

Parishes are still used by Stats Can and Elections Canada.

It depends of the county.
They use them for Madawaska County, but they use LDSs for Restigouche County.

Parishes and LSDs are the same thing 80% of the time.

EC (and ENB for that matter) seems to use them Whenever They Damn Well Feel Like It.

The wait is over....Manitoba and Saskatchewan are now up.

506, you are awesome!

Miles - it may not necessarily be racially driven, just that like many other areas, the First Nations population votes NDP, and like in many other areas, the (white) rural areas vote Conservative. It may be demographic without being racial, if you follow my drift.

Seems to me the only way aboriginals ever vote Conservative is if one of their own is the local candidate - see Peter Penashue.

Alberta's up!

Two of the four precincts on the Siksika (aka Blackfoot proper) reservation are reported with the exact same result, or is that an error?
I hope it is. On these figures the CPC won the rez (summed) by one vote.

One of those polls would have been merged into the other. I just assigned the same results to both polls in those cases.

[the506]

Toute fini. BC and the north are done.
