Canadian federal polling division files

If we could get results by census subdivision, it might be more interesting and less random.

Qikiqtaaluk is a great place.

Indeed! Lowest Green % in Nunavut!

Bountiful is not a recognized place name in Canada, but apparently it is outside of Lister, BC.

Lister voted
Conservative: 162
NDP: 38
Green: 24
Liberal: 14

Truly Hashemite's version of hell!

Is that Dalhousie that voted NDP?

[Hatman 🍁]

* Sackville was really a 4-way race.

Do you know why? And do you know why Dalhousie voted NDP?

If you want the subdivisions, you can type in the place names into Geosearch on the stats can website and it will tell you which one they're in.

Do you have the link where I can get this, because I couldn't get the first geosearch to work on my computer.  If all else fails, you could just give me the poll numbers and I'll give you the data as I have all the Nova Scotia ridings on a spreadsheet

I couldn't do the poll numbers, since I don't have them maps, but if you could give me the community names, I can find them.

Try this: http://geodepot.statcan.ca/GeoSearch2006/GeoSearch2006.jsp?resolution=H&lang=E&otherLang=F

If that doesn't work, try the 2001 version (which is more user friendly for place searches): http://geodepot.statcan.ca/Diss/GeoSearch/index.cfm?lang=E

Just type in the community names to find out what subdivision they are in.

thanks! I'll make a map now

Ahh yes. I remember how Jasper is shaped like a "J"

[Hatman 🍁]

The NDP used to hold the seat that Jasper is in provincially. I think that's probably a big reason.

Do you have the numbers for Montreal? Should be interesting going into a municipal election and whatnot.

[Hatman 🍁]

Here's Quebec by MRC:

Oh wow. I made about 7 mistakes. Maybe 8. What colour is Sherbrooke?

I can also do one of British Columbia by Regional District if anyone is interested.  I also will later try to do the subdivisions of the remaining provinces although in the case of Alberta, I wonder if it is really worth it considering it will all just be shades of blue and in most cases very dark blue.

This would be awesome. We should try all the provinces, so we can make a big map.

BTW, Montreal's former municipalities:

Also, two of the northern RCMs aren't shown on your map.

Added by me, thanks to this thread

I made quite a few mistakes with BC. Mostly along the southern coast and Vancouver Island.

I hope you're going to do the prairies and Newfoundland

[Hatman 🍁]

Weird!

Huron-Bruce is interesting. What's up with that NDP poll? I think the NDP candidate was the former MPP...

as for Manitoba, I wasn't expecting there to be a Liberal CD! BTW, I think Ashton is from Thompson, not The Pas.

[Hatman 🍁]

Yeah, Churchill looks like it might be racialised to a predictably ugly extent under the surface there.

How so? Different Tribes voting for different parties?

A poll map of Churchill might be interesting. The fact that most natives in Churchill voted for a White Greek over one of their own is quite amazing, really.

[Hatman 🍁]

Are you from the area?

[Hatman 🍁]

if we can get maps of the by-election ridings, that would be great. (Specifically Riviere-du-Loup and CCMV from 2006)

[Hatman 🍁]

Under "election maps" in the gallery, I have posted several maps of York South riding from 1953 to 1972. This shows the progression of the riding from CCF, (precursor to the NDP) to strongly Conservative in Diefenbaker's great 1958 landslide, to NDP under David Lewis.

Always great to see these Keep them coming!

It's too bad this area isn't very NDP friendly anymore. It has potential, as we held it briefly provincially a few years ago.

I already did the M-L'I-R-d-L

Oops. My bad.

York South is a riding of the same name, but highly differing demographics nowadays. In fact, in 2007 the Liberals had to take York South back, having lost it in a by-election. In the 1970s, the old anglo-saxon working class neighbourhoods of York Borough gave way to waves of Italian and then some Portuguese immigrants. Many blacks also moved in. All combined to move the riding from an NDP to a (mostly) Liberal stronghold.

In 1984 and 1988, my old roommate in Toronto, Steve Krashinsky, ran for the NDP...came close in 1984 but got badly beaten in 1988 when the ethnic solitary of the voters firmed up behind the Liberals.

It is indeed a neighbourhood that in provincial elections can move back and forth between NDP and Liberals, much like Parkdale-High Park to the south. But federally, it is pretty safe for the Liberals.

It's safe now, but I suspect if it were an open seat, it would be targeted by the NDP. I'm assuming the Portuguese voted NDP in the 2007 by-election?
