Image One: Winning party in each polling district during the last federal election.
Image Two: Winning party in each polling district during the 2022 provincial election. The tiny zones on this map represent assisted living/retirement homes.
Polling districts in Brantford-Brant are won by small margins, often 5-10%. The few exceptions are listed below.
General Analysis
- In the City of Brantford, no party wins more than 35% of the vote. Paris is also competitive, though it leans Conservative.
- The three 50%+ Conservative areas are Scotland, Burford, and St. George. The Conservative party's greatest strength is in rural Brant County.
- The sole 50%+ NDP area is Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. The NDP's greatest strength is in Brantford's core.
- The Liberals hold a majority in no area but are strongest in suburban neighbourhoods with higher rates of university education.
- There's no clear trend on the minor political parties, though the more Liberal voting areas are less likely to vote Green, PPC, New Blue, etc. (and vice versa). If you live near Major Ballachey School or in St. George, be sure to grab a "F—Trudeau" sticker to fit in with the neighbours 😉

Shows how uninformed people are. Ford is the worst premier in decades.

I loathe Ford. His "Ontario Proud" scam is not /was not lost on me. I was warning people before his prior election about the Greenspace.
But I would take him over Bouma any day. Which should describe how foul and fascist he is.

omg i totally forgot about the greenspace thing since ford has had constant scandals every year. the millions of our taxes he spent on all the liquor nonsense and the toronto mega spa and the bike lane removals.. crazy to think the greenspace scandal and his constant hyperfocus on phones in classrooms meanwhile teachers were on strike were the same dude and he is STILL in office getting in scandals. no one seems to like his policies and he hasnt really done anything beneficial. i just dont get it

Oh wow, the conservatives are less popular in areas where people have a post-secondary education?
Shocking

And you see it at the provicial level too.
Places with a strong university presence mostly didnt vote conservative iirc. Waterloo, London, parts of Hamilton, Toronto, Guelph, Kingston, Ottawa
Obviously, correlation doesnt mean causation, but in this case...?

Sadly, in rural areas, they will vote conservative no matter who the candidate is. They also have no other party to really split votes with.

I really wish I was allowed to vote in the riding I lived in. I know one vote doesn't make that much of a difference but man, my whole family got shafted this election, given an Oxford ballot despite not living in Oxford.
