Canadian federal polling division files

[Hatman 🍁]

I have posted more maps showing federal election results from the 1940s-1950s. Of particular interest are three returns for Trinity riding which was a centre in Canada for the Labour Progressive Party (aka Communist Party), especially its working class Jewish voters. When an LPP candidate was not offered in neighbouring Spadina riding in 1949, LPP voters there swung massively to the Liberals rather than to either the Conservatives or more left-leaning CCF.

Theyre way too small to see

Just Alberta, Newfoundland and NWT to do now

As noted in a previous post, Labrador was divided into 2 Divisions before last census. I did a break down by community. You should check that out.

Also, the NWT regions are on Wikipedia. There's just 2 of them.

Actually, you will notice a line in the very top separating the two Labrador districts.  Both were low 70s for the Liberals since in Division 10 the Liberals were only in the high 50s in the Western part, but got in the 90s in many coastal communities, while Division 11 was 71%.  Do you have a blank map of the Northwest Territories since wikipedia does show the NWT subdivided in relation to all of Canada, but not when I go specifically to NWT.

That white line isn't the border. Division No. 11 is the Nunatsiavut area, which is along the central coast.

Kamloops is a bellwether provincially, so it could become a swing seat.

oh neat, I think this is the same guy that made that St. Paul's map I posted for the by-election.

You're the one that created that site? Good stuff! Too bad the colours aren't shaded!

For the GIS folks among you....here's the polling division database file with last year's results included:

I've put together a national poll-by-poll map from this. Any requests?

Let's see the ridings we haven't seen yet

I'd heard Peter Kent is Jewish, and that was from someone on his campaign team.

He doesn't look like a Jew.

It looks like pundit's guide has maps of every riding now, with polls. They're not shaded though. They also have the 2000 election which is really interesting.

 high-growth suburbia tends to vote Tory in the 905.

Ottawa too (think Barrhaven and Kanata). However, those are western suburbs. Eastern suburbs have the French factor, and Orleans is probably where french suburbanites are settling.

Neat. Keep them coming, though I'd recommend changing the labels

Updated Southeast Quebec map.



Question: Why the random Bloc win in Saint-Antoine-de-Tilly (Lotbiniere-Chutes-de-la-Chaudiere)?

It didn't take me long to find out the answer is the most obvious one, the BQ candidate lives there.  http://www.punditsguide.ca/riding/?riding=1014

Anyone care to do the Vaughan by-election?
