Profile & Notes	Electoral History
This sprawling and rapidly growing suburban area to the north and east of the City of Toronto encompasses the eastern portion of what Canadian political watchers in the early nineties dubbed the "905 belt"—a swath of middle class suburban voters roughly corresponding to the same boundaries of the 905 Area Code that can be readily tipped from the Liberal to the Conservative column. 905's buy-in on the provincial level to Mike Harris's Common Sense Revolution secured him two conservative majority governments, while its rejection of the Tories in 2002 paved the way for Dalton McGuinty's landslide. 905 solidly supported the Chrétien Liberals, but Conservatives hope that the absence of vote-splitting and rising national fortunes can lead to substantial pickups on election night.	•••••••••	2004

Since 1993, Central Toronto has been a bastion of Liberal support. It is far more competitive in the 2004 election, however, largely because new NDP leader Jack Layton is a former Toronto city councillor who has reoriented the NDP towards drawing support in the urban centres. Most of the ridings are remain safe Liberal seats, with only four or five seats vulnerable to the New Democrats and Conservatives.	••••••••••	2004

This area is part of the rapidly growing 905 belt, where the Conservatives are hoping for a breakthrough, as it is a traditionally Conservative area. Until their collapse in 1993, the Conservatives only lost two ridings in this area between 1979 and 1988. In the riding of Brampton-Springdale, the Liberal riding association is campaigning for the NDP, to protest Paul Martin's appointment of candidate Ruby Dhalla. The original candidate was known to be a supporter of John Manley in last year's Liberal leadership race. Running against incumbent Colleen Beaumier in Brampton West is former Ontario cabinet minister and federal Conservative leadership candidate Tony Clement. Notes: ¹ Hundal replaced previous Conservative candidate Gurjit Grewal after a past conviction for assault came to light.	•••••••••	2004

Profile & Notes	Electoral History
This region has been traditionally Conservative, however the Liberal Party swept the region, along with most of the rest in Ontario, in the last three elections. However, most Liberal victories outside Hamilton proper can be attributed to vote-splitting between the two right-wing parties. Now that they have merged, the Conservatives are targeting several ridings in the area in this election. In Hamilton, the New Democrats is looking for major gains as well. They held the seat of Hamilton Mountain twice. Traditionally, Liberal support has been concentrated in Niagara Falls, Welland and in Hamilton. The Liberal membership in at least one Hamilton riding is heavily divided, with disgruntled former MP Sheila Copps rumoured to be running for the NDP or as an independent before she announced she was quitting politics.

This area is traditionally conservative, except for the riding of Brant which has not voted Conservative since 1958. Brant is where the NDP did will with popular MP Derek Blackburn from 1971 to 1993. However, the NDP have been unable to duplicate this success in this area, and are unlikely to do so. The Conservatives won every other seat except for three seats in 1979, 1980, 1984, and 1988 sweeping the area (except for Brant) in 1984 and 1979. The three seats that went Liberal were Guelph and Kitchener (1980) and Haldimand-Norfolk (1988). Since the collapse of the Conservatives, and vote splitting the Liberals swept this area in 1993, 1997 and 2000. However, with a united right, this is unlikely to be duplicated a fourth time.	•••••••••••	2004

Profile & Notes	Electoral History
Southwestern Ontario is traditionally a very Liberal region of Ontario, but is divided between urban and rural. The Liberals do well in the cities of Windsor and London, and Conservatives do well in the rural areas of Kent County, Essex County, Lambton County, Elgin County, and Middlesex County. The NDP also has done well in the past, and currently in Windsor and London, where unions are strong. The NDP was elected in both Windsor-Walkerville and London-Fanshawe in 1984 and 1988, and hold both Windsor seats currently. The Liberas swept all but the riding of Elgin in 1980, the Conservatives swept all but the two Windsor ridings in 1984, and one London riding. The Liberals swept every single riding here in 1993 and 1997, and all but the riding of Windsor-St. Clair in 2000.	••••••••••	2004

Northern Ontario is traditionally a very Liberal area in Ontario, but with historically strong showings by the NDP. The Conservatives have only won a combined total of 9 seats in Northern Ontario since 1979, 4 of which in the very Conservative Parry Sound Muskoka. The NDP has consistently done well here, finishing either first or second, even if it means not winning seats. They are especially strong in Thunder Bay-Atikokan, Nickel Belt, and Sault Ste. Marie, but have also won seats in Kenora-Rainy River, Thunder Bay-Nipigon, and Timmins Chapleau. The only bad showing by the Liberals since 1979 came in 1984, where they still managed 3 of 12 seats winning in Algoma, Sudbury, and Cochrane despite a national Conservative landslide.	•••••••••	2004

Rural Manitoba is traditionally very Conservative, sith some NDP leanings. Vote splitting only effected this area in 1993, when the Liberals nearly swept the region, winning all but one seat. In 1997 they could keep one. The Progressive Conservatives did their best here, out of all of western Canada, winning the riding of Brandon-Souris in both 1997 and 2000. The NDP's strength lies in the riding of Churchill, in northern Manitoba where they have consistently won in.	••••••	2004

Winnipeg has traditionally been a three-way race between the NDP, the Conservatives and the Liberals. That ended in 1993, and since then nor the Progressive Conservatives or the Alliance/Reform Party have been able to win a seat here. Now that they are merged, their prospects look good to return Winnipeg once again into a three-way race. Notes: 1 - formerly held by John Harvard	••••••••	2004

Southern Saskatchewan is traditionally split between the NDP and the Conservatives. In 1993, the Reform Party came along, and stole most Conservative votes, but also made room for the Liberals to win seats here, and make the area a 3-way race.

Profile & Notes	Electoral History
Northern Saskatchewan has also been a traditional two-way race between the NDP and the Conservatives. The NDP with their strongest support in the riding of Churchill River. However, the most recent 2000 election saw this riding pass to the Liberals. More recent elections have seen the Reform/Canadian Alliance do extremely well here, and are expected to do just as well, or even better as the new Conservative Party. Notes: 1 - Laliberte did not seek Liberal nomination 2 - Pankiw formerly CA 3 - Chris Axworthy was a former New Democrats MP and provincial cabinet minister	•••••••	2004

Profile & Notes	Electoral History
This region is unarguably the most Conservative region in Canada. One may only have to look at the election results from the last 70 years to prove it. The Progressive Conservative Party of Canada did not lose a single seat in rural Alberta from 1972 until the party's collapse of 1993. Instead a new right wing party, the Reform Party of Canada took over and swept rural Alberta in the next two elections. They did the same under the Canadian Alliance banner in 2000. It is unlikely any other party will win here in 2004.	••••••••••••	2004

Profile & Notes	Electoral History
Edmonton is the most left wing area of Alberta, but this doesn't say much. Much like the rest of Alberta, Edmonton usually always votes for the leading right wing party of the day. This is the one area of Alberta where the Liberals have been able to win anything in recent years, winning two seats in both 1997 and 2000, and four seats in 1993. The NDP have also won a seat in Edmonton, doing so in 1988. The two Liberal incumbents are both in close races, and the new Conservative Party of Canada could possibly sweep Edmonton, and therefore all of Alberta.	••••••••	2004

Profile & Notes	Electoral History
Calgary, the largest city in Alberta is just as Conservative as rural Alberta. The Progressive Conservatives swept Calgary until 1993, then it was the Reform Party in 1993 and 1997, then the Canadian Alliance in 2000. The one abnormal seat was when Progressive Conservative Party leader Joe Clark won the riding of Calgary Centre in 2000. It is expected the Conservatives will once again sweep Calgary in 2004.	••••••••	2004
