Box 500 Station A Toronto, ON Canada, M5W 1E6. But the candidacy of Jane Philpott as an Independent makes this riding a wild card. Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott will try to make the case for more non-partisanship in their bids to be re-elected as Independents, while Maxime Bernier will make the case that the voters that have backed him as a Conservative should follow him as leader of the People’s Party.

Southwestern Ontario was an important part of Stephen Harper’s majority win in 2011, when his party captured the small urban centres in this part of the province. Voters in two Toronto ridings head to the polls today in the first electoral test of the federal Liberal government's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. If Singh is going to deliver previously untapped voters to the NDP, then he has to win here. No incumbent and no Rosedale could change the dynamics here.

The Liberals won Mission–Matsqui–Fraser Canyon in 2015, the first time since 1974 the party had won a riding sharing territory with this sprawling federal seat. But in this majority-francophone riding — the only one in Canada outside of Quebec or New Brunswick — the cuts made by Doug Ford’s PC government to Franco-Ontarian services could prove to be an obstacle to Lemieux’s comeback plans, and an example of how Ford might be a problem for Andrew Scheer on the campaign trail in Ontario.

How the New Democrats do in this election won’t matter solely to the NDP itself. It also had been held by the Ontario Liberals since 1985 — until last year, when the Ontario PCs took it with 50 per cent of the vote.

Paul between 2011 and 2015, winning a seat that had been held by the Conservatives since 2004. The Liberals haven’t won in Kamloops–Thompson–Cariboo since 1974, but they believe they can win in 2019 thanks to Terry Lake, a former provincial cabinet minister and MLA for the riding from 2009 to 2017. The closest competition is too far off, this riding won't swing. The third-best riding in the country for Greens over the last three elections, Esquimalt–Saanich–Sooke is a top target for the party on Vancouver Island. His performance will be a test of the Conservative strategy of banking on high-profile local candidates to make inroads in francophone, nationalist ridings like Trois-Rivières — which voted for the CAQ in last year’s provincial election, as well as Mario Dumont’s ADQ in its short-lived 2007 breakthrough. One of the two ridings the Liberals won in Quebec City in 2015, Louis-Hébert has been a tough seat for incumbents to hold.

Calling this for the NDP. But the Conservatives’ victory here in 2011 and the Ontario PCs’ win in 2018 suggest the riding could swing again. The Conservatives’ odds are slim, but the CAQ has its only presence on the island of Montreal here.

Former finance minister Bill Morneau resigned as Toronto Centre’s MP this past August, and Liberal Michael Levitt stepped down as the MP for York Centre in September, which required the calling of byelections in those two ridings.. The Bloc would like to capture the seat, which it held between 1993 and 2011, while the Conservatives, who finished a strong fourth in 2015, also have a history in this part of the province and can’t be ruled out. It was a big breakthrough for the Liberals when they won Lac-Saint-Jean from the Conservatives in a 2017 byelection, as this was the riding where the party put up its worst result in the country east of Saskatchewan in the 2015 federal election. Outside the GTA, there are some key ridings the Conservatives won in 2011 that they’d probably need to win again in 2019 in order to form a majority government.

The Conservatives can’t be ruled out, either: if Robinson and the Liberals’ Terry Beech split the vote, the Conservatives could win with only a minor improvement over their 2015 performance. North Vancouver swung to the Liberals in a big way in 2015, but the Conservatives (and their predecessor parties) won the riding in 10 of the previous 12 elections.
