interesting map of election results

[zabbo]

This is from the globe and mail. Shows results of the election in a couple formats. Scroll down to the map, zoom in and click on a riding. Will tell you who ran for what party and how many votes each candidate got. The results for western Canada are very eye opening. Conservatives got twice the votes as the next highest candidate in most cases. Many times they got 4 or 5 times and in some places 10 times the next candidate. Also of note, many times, the NDP came in second.

The huge win margins for Conservatives in western Canada is the main reason the Conservatives can say they won the popular vote.

I see in the Yukon, the Libs won by a very small margin. Had the people who voted for PPC used their votes for the CPC it would have gone blue. I wonder how many other ridings had this split vote allowing a Lib win ?

Eric Nielsen, former Yukon MP was deputy Prime Minister under Mulroney. Tough place to campaign and a Liberal was the incumbent.

Maybe so, but if you add the PPC + CPC votes, they add up to more that the Libs got.

The Lib and the CCP both had 33 % of the vote, the 3% PPC would have changed the final result to CPC.

I'd like to know how much Bernier got paid to split the vote. Couldn't even win his seat. Run that many canadates across Canada in a very short time. Where did the funds come from.

I just went through all of the riding results in Canada to see how the PPC splitting the vote effected the election.

The PPC helped defeat the CPC in 7 ridings.
Six ridings went to the Libs and 1 riding went to the NDP.

THESE RIDINGS WOULD HAVE BEEN WON BY THE CPC WITHOUT THE PPC SPLITTING THE VOTE:

NS Cumberland - Colchester
NB Mirimichi - Grand Lake
ON Windsor - Techumseh (went NDP)
ON Kitchener - Conestoga
BC South Okanagan - West Kootenay
BC Coquitlam - Port Coquitlam
Yukon

I voted ppc but would not have voted conservative if there was no ppc option. The conservatives are conservatives in name and name only.

Exactly right. I’ll not vote for a liberal party with the moniker of conservative. I will only vote for a party that is center or right of center. Tired of only having socialist parties to vote for. It is the people that vote for a name alone that split the conservative vote.

Well, enjoy Trudeau, and say good bye to your semi autos. A vote for the PPC was a vote for the Liberals.

You voted for Justin Trudeau. Pointe Finale. You cast a vote for a party that had zero chance of forming government and whose own leader lost his seat to a Conservative. Berniers views, while valid in many cases, are entirely out of step with mainstream Canada. If one wants to be elected PM you must appeal to all voting demographics and not have a whiff of bigotry, intolerance or racism about you. Bernier, a Frenchman, lost his seat in Quebec- by far the most intolerant province in all of Canada- because his views were even too extreme for Quebecers and thats saying something as the no religious symbols bill in Quebec is extremely popular. It's been reported that many NDP voters voted strategically by voting liberal IOT keep the Tory's from power because they knew that the NDP can never and will never form government and they voted liberal as a means to ensure Scheer did not get to 24 Sussex- PPC supporters should take a page from their book. The PPC hopefully is dead but PPC votes in some ridings cost the Conservative candidate the seat because the ridings were incredibly close and had those PPC supporters voted strategically as well with the common view that Trudeau had to go some of those ridings would have went Conservative instead of Liberal.
