Even traditionally red cities like Toronto are changing colours, with the next federal election little over a year away.
The left-leaning city of Toronto, Canada’s financial capital and largest city, is set to turn blue, according to a recent projection by 338 Canada.
The Liberals won a majority of Toronto-area ridings in the 2021 election. However, recent projections show that the Conservatives are poised to win half the ridings in the city.
Conservative MP Don Stewart stole the by-election from Liberal candidate Leslie Church earlier in 2024, in the traditionally red riding of Toronto-St. Paul’s. He is the first Conservative MP to win the riding in over thirty years.
Further, the Liberal Party lost the by-election in the Montreal riding of LaSalle-Émard-Verdun earlier this month to the Bloc Québécois, highlighting the party’s falling popularity.
Even Justin Trudeau‘s propaganda outlet, the CBC, wrote an article damning the sitting prime minister with the headline: The Liberals can’t win a general election if they keep losing safe seats.
A recent poll by Nanos suggests that Pierre Poilievre‘s Conservative Party holds a 20-point lead over Trudeau’s Liberal Party.
