For those of you who like this sort of thing, this is the sort of thing you like.
Witness the de-Gritification of Toronto:

Gotta love those NDP polls in Markham-Unionville!Here is what an Orange Wave looks like:

Montreal - 2011 Electoral Map
P.S. Those gray blobs in Longueuil and La Salle-Emard are polls won by the Marxist-Leninists (according to Elections Canada).
The new greenish map of Saanich-Gulf Islands.
And here's a personal favourite; a map of Windsor without a single speck of red!

Is there a specific link where we can find these maps?
Just click on the red text. The links are embedded.
I'd just like to be able to find the link for South Shore-St. Margaret's, that all.
I'd be curious to see maps for Winnipeg.
Also: the Saanich-Gulf Islands is an interesting one, in that it really shows how the Green Party has adapted to being a small party in FPTP (or consciously became a personality cult around Elizabeth May, depending on how charitable you're feeling at the moment) by focusing solely on the leader and getting her elected in that one riding. Just look at all the green in SGI, and how it doesn't even extend to one poll in any of the neighboring ridings.
I created these maps myself, using poll results and digital boundary files from Elections Canada. I've left off riding names and street labels to avoid covering up data.
As requested, here are the maps for Winnipeg and South Shore-St. Margaret's.

Or that Green supporters voted Green where tehy thought they could win and not elsewhere. The only test would be if we saw a PR election map over top.
Tab errors, I'll presume (not unlike that M-L poll in Miss E-Cooksville in 2004)
I would like to see a map for the Western Arctic. Thanks in advance.
The NDP seems almost nonexistant in rural Manitoba and Sask,
the question is how do they connect with these communities they once held?
Ask (politely) and ye shall receive:
Yukon and Western Arctic - 2011 Electoral Map
Hamilton (minus Flamborough and the rural bits of Ancaster) and Niagara - 2011 Electoral Map
Brandon-Souris, Manitoba?
Edmonton?

(The far more exciting) Edmonton- 2011 Electoral Map
Remember at the start of the campaign when the BQ incumbent running against Romeo Saganash said that whites would never vote for a Cree candidate? Well, Mr. Saganash did quite well in the southern portion of Abitibi--Baie-James--Nunavik--Eeyou. It was the northern part where he had a close race.lac-saint-louis? :)
I also would like to see Calgary out of curiousity and any areas in alberta which might become an NDP seat when more seats are added.
Way to go Nunavik! Good thing they didn't vote BQ! Awesome Nunavik more vote Green party, I know they voted him just because he is Inuit MP of Nunavik.
Hey Krago, could u give me link of Nunavut territory? thanks.
I'm somewhat interested in seeing what a results map of Lethbridge would look like, Krago. Thanks.
The red looks like spots of blood begging for a band-aid.

Lethbridge - 2011 Electoral Map
Thanks!!
How about Vancouver? and Sask (i'd love to see where the NDP would win seats with proper redistribution)
The Alberta maps tell me a few things:
1. When new seats are added in Alberta - a seat could easily be created in Edmonton taking in the more NDP leaning parts of Edmonton Centre and Edmonton East that could be very winnable.
2. If the "noose" around Lethbridge is tightened and riding become more purely the City of Lethbridge - it could become a target.
3. Calgary Northeast could eventually become the "Scarborough Rouge River" of calgary!
Great stuff, thankyou! I would love to see Oshawa (like I'm not depressed enough already) and the devolution over the past few elections.
I would LOVE to see maps of Regina and Saskatoon. I think it would likely demonstrate that the NDP could easily win a few Saskatchewan seats if there were purely urban ridings in those cities (where else in canada do you have cities with populations of 300,000 having seats purely urban seats in them??)
These maps indicate who won in a poll and what their percentage was. They say nothing about who finished second. In three or four way races it is theoretically possible to win without winning a single poll. What is of more use are district poll maps with the NDP percentage in each poll, or similar maps for larger areas.
Not a single speck of red to be found in South Shore-St. Margaret's either!!
