The Greater Toronto Area, part of Ontario’s critical battleground, has voted for the party that formed government in every election but one since Pierre Trudeau became prime minister

With one-third of the country’s total seats, Ontario was a critical election battleground for Mr. Trudeau, Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer and NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh.The Liberals maintained their grip on vote-rich Ontario as their competitors failed to break through in the key Greater Toronto Area battleground.

The Liberals swept all 25 ridings in the city of Toronto, based on results late Monday evening. Prominent Liberal cabinet ministers Bill Morneau and Chrystia Freeland cruised to victory in their downtown ridings, while Liberal candidates also won Parkdale-High Park and in Davenport, two central Toronto ridings the NDP had been hoping to pick up.

One Ford government source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Mr. Scheer’s team would be looking for explanations but would be wrong to blame the Premier. The vast 905 region, known for its area code, contains 30 ridings surrounding Toronto, has been a linchpin in recent election victories, including Mr. Trudeau’s in 2015 and Stephen Harper’s in 2011.

The biggest error made by AndrewScheer was to muzzle fordnation. It literally cost him the Prime Minister's office as liberals swept the GTA once again. Sad.

Like it or not that is how our system works It’s not about “left vs right” or “popular vote” It’s also why none of the parties has ever taken electoral reform seriously It would cost all of them power and they will never relinquish that

Looks like Ford just sold a gently used car to Scheer.

And now we can concentrate on voting Ford out !!!!

FORD, TRUMP and SCHEER will NOT destroy our world.

The Ford,Kenney,Scheer coalition and strategy was a loss.Better find a clear way to work issues out instead of dredging for mud.

and now captain lard can come out of hiding.

Polling suggests Liberals, Conservatives in a deadlockIn the final round of polling before the 2019 federal election, Nanos Research suggests popular support for Liberals and Conservatives remains a coin toss. If that's accurate then vote efficiency means the Liberals easily win more seats than the Conservatives. I just hope it's not a majority. Good.
