Ontario Election 2007: Launch of Coverage

Filed under: - 2007 ON Election, Canadian Politics

Over the coming weeks, DemocraticSPACE will launch our coverage of the October 4, 2007 Ontario Election. As with our coverage of the 2006 Canadian Federal election, each of the 107 Ontario ridings will have its own page, where visitors can report on-the-ground happenings and offer their thoughts (feel free to report riding nominations as they happen). And, as per usual, we will provide riding-by-riding vote projections, based on our unique regional allocation model and the latest polling data.

The last 5 polls show the Liberals with an average of 38.4% support, following by the Progressive Conservatives at 36% and the NDP at 19.4%. Based on a simple riding-by-riding allocation (that is, unadjusted for regional variations), this has the Liberals leading with 51 seats, PC with 46 and the NDP with 10. [Note: edited to reflect the last 5 polls]

Hey Greg,

I’m looking forward to seeing more of your insightful prognostications on this election.

A couple of things that I always scratch my head about when I see the ridings you assign to each region:
-why is Durham in Eastern Ontario and not the 905 region? The bulk of this riding’s population is on the lakeshore less than 80 km from Toronto city centre and practically all the voters here would have 905 telephone numbers.
-Central Ontario to me is Peterborough/Haliburton/Muskoka/Kawartha Lakes–I think Western Ontario or Northern 519 would be more accurate

You should also make sure you put Thornhill in the 905 and Toronto category. Your site in general, however, is great.
