The total combined seats in Toronto, Ottawa and Thunder Bay is 35 which puts the Liberals back in contention. They need to find a way to get GTA seats back.
35 out of 124 isn't even a third. And many of those wins will come at the expense of the NDP affecting that party's seat count. Do I believe the PCs will lose all their City of Toronto seats by the next election? Not likely, unless Ford steps down or something drastic like that. York Region is solidly blue. Southern Peel and Halton seem to be getting more Conservative, not less. Durham also looks more Con and everything east of it as well outside of Kingston and Ottawa. Southwest is also looking formidable and the near north like the Soo, Perry Sound and Muskoka. I think Greg Rickford is personally popular enough in Kenora to keep his riding.
So, the bleeding of support seems to be specific to the City and little anywhere else. Oh but I guess Steve will cite the Guelph Mayor as well so there's that.
