David I. obviously hasn't a clue what he is writing about. If he even bothered to look to the left of the screen, he would see that Steve Mahoney's old riding actually makes up over 73% of the new riding, with the difference being made up by Colleen Beaumier's old riding.
This is going to go to Tangri with a margin of about 8%. There still does not seem to be an NDP candidate, which will decide how many of the Liberal votes could go that way.
Conservatives in this riding get 49%, Liberals 41%, NDP 7%.

Khan simply will not win here. Khan should have ran in Oshawa if he wanted a chance. This riding does contain 75% of Mahoney's old riding. After this election, Khan and Martin will not be the best of buddies after he loses his riding to Tangri. Dechert is nothing compared to Tangri as a candidate and hopefully will lose to Parrish.

Janet, my poor misguided friend, it's not that I'm supporting any particular party (read my other postings when you have the time).
Let's be realistic here for 1 second.
1. Khan is a very good friend of PM... Martin won't let his buddy die in this campaign, he's been recruited by both parties in the past and is obviously a big enough candidate for the Libs to shoo-off Mahoney during the nomination.
2. Nina IS a terrible candidate. She doesn't know the issues, is poor when dealing with voters, and has a very minimal budget. Nina's supporters should realize this.
3. The Liberals will still likely win 60-75 seats in Ontario. For Nina to get elected, the Conservative's would have to win 50+ - this isn't happening, and Nina isn't catching any wave.
4. Tony Clement will be lucky to win his seat - so any 'momentum' Nina may pick up from TC is very minimal, if any at all.
5. Dechert will win in Mississauga-Erindale because he is a better candidate, and is running against Carolyn Parrish.
6. Steve Mahoney's riding does not make up 75% of this new riding in Miss-Streetsville... it's closer to 45% actually - check the stats first before posting your dribble. Mahoney didn't run in the nomination here because Khan is a candidate that PM wants. PM won't let Khan lose this.
7. When was the last time someone ran a good campaign for Nina? She's not got the organization (I hear she's got former Ontario Cabinet Minister David Tsbouchi's old campaign manager)...
8. Wajid is down-right better for the job than Nina... Plain and simple; Tangri has none of the qualities needed. The only things that keep her on the ballot are her Indo connections and riding presidents who won't stand up to her.
Folks, give your head a shake. Miss-Streetsville is going to stay Liberal. Ain't nothing you all are going to be able to do about it.

Tangri isn't the greatest candidate, but I am inclined to believe that she will surpass the the average tory vote in Ontario in the next election. Khan is very unethical and no one knows why he would have any interest in Mississauga since he lives in Oshawa-not Thornhill as others have posted. Add the non-incumbent factor and you have another Conservative gain. Tangri won't win with a large victory, but by a comfortable 5%.

Even if the momentum does favour Tangri in the end--especially w/Tony Clement's coattails to consider--I find something very suspect about the endless sea of Miss-Streetsville Conservative predictions this soon into the game, when we barely even know which way the chips are going to fall. (And especially in a region where people tend to vote in "waves" rather than for individuals.) But it's noteworthy that this has been the most Reform/Alliance-friendly of Mississauga's "inland" ridings--Snobelen-libertarian spillover, perhaps? I'm not sure how, exactly, that will translate; but to extrapolate that into Tangri prediction after Tangri prediction this soon into the game is prepostrous. If you were speaking of Mississauga South, maybe (let alone Halton, or Dufferin-Caledon, or even Clement's Brampton West). But, *here*?!? Doesn't make sense. (However, I'm less prone than some to hold Nina Tangri's past loser-candidate status against her. Look, past hapless federal Mississauga Tory losers like Raminder Gill and Carl DeFaria bluffed into being provincial Tory winners; why not the reverse...)

This riding is Tangri's with no doubt. The current Liberal candidate is not a sitting MP which helps Tangri compared with other Conservative candidates. Secondly, this is the riding where people were very angry that John Snobelen did not represent them well as he did not live here. As Tangri lives in the riding and Khan isn't even close, people will sway towards her. I am considered a typical WASP, but my vote will go to Tangri based on the qualifications, residence, community work, and my belief that she will represent us well. And that is what we need here in Streetsville.

Its funny how David has overwhelming support for the Conservatives in Erindale, but in Streetsville he hates them. Khan's kids should stop posting garbage. Khan is very stuck up, and thinks he is above everyone else. I would be suprised to see even 35% of the vote to go to him. Tangri is a satisfactory candidate, but the Liberals have practically handed over the seat to the Tories by nominating Khan. 75% of this riding is Mahoney's. Mahoney is angry with Khan, Martin and his other goons for forcing him to fight Parrish. 25% of this riding is Vic Dhillon's. There are a alot of South Asians in that area and they will support Nina. Khan should have sticked to selling cars because he is about to be the next embrassment to the Liberal party after the results of this riding.

If one riding in Mississauga was to swing Tory, it would be this one. The constituents of this riding are angry with Wajid and they will use Nina to make sure he doesn't get elected. Nina is an average candidate, but many Mahoney-Liberal supporters here will either help Bob Dechert in Erindale or here in Streetsville. If an election was held in Spring- Conservative win by 5-10%. In fall- 10-15% Conservative victory!

You people are insane if you think that anyone cares about where their MP is from.
The Nina campaign must think that they can win an election based upon this website like her last campaign.... For heaven's sake, wake up! She's a TERRIBLE CANDIDATE! Nina can't speak in public, doesn't knock on doors, and isn't well versed on the issues. If her issue is goign to be "well, Khan doesn't live in the riding", the you can write this one off right now. NINA IS A KNOWN LOSER, nothing more. She's lost twice now, and this will be the hat-trick.
The Indo-Canadian vote in Streetsville isn't very large... 15,000 citizens, out of 118,000 people, isn't very much. They won't all vote for her either, because that's the way it goes. She'll be lucky to get 2500 of those votes.
Nina's kids have to stay off the computer before they post garbage like they have already done. Mahoney isn't running in this riding because he chose to run in Erindale - ultimately, unsuccessfully... Khan will take this riding in a walk, by at least 4000 votes.
NINA, DROP OUT... YOU AIN'T GONNA WIN!!

The Liberals are ahead by 9 points in Ontario. The Conservatives are gaining huge momentum throughout the country. Using those numbers, and inputing them into this riding, I would predict a small Conservative victory. Khan isn't an incumbent so he will have about 5% less than other Liberals incumbents in Mississaga. eg. Carolyn Parrish. That 5% will go Conservative. On top of that The Mahoney-Khan affair will also have a vital impact on the vote. Using those factors, I would give Tangri 48%, Khan 43% and whoever runs for the NDP 9%.

Nina Tangri has good name recognition in Mississauga. She ran provincially last election and federally in 2000. Believe me that she has learned from her mistakes and is ready to take on the Liberal car salesmen from Toronto. This riding, along with Mississauga-Erindale and Mississauga-South, is absolutly going conservative. Wait and watch!

Last election, The Liberals won here by a great margin because of the Alliance and PC candidate. The PC candidate was lazy and inactive and the Alliance candidate had very poor English. Result- MAHONEY and Liberal Win. It seems like the opposite this time around. Mahoney gone, parachuted Liberal candidate, and dedicated Conservative candidate will be the key players. No body in this riding has heard of Wajid Khan and the Conservative candidate, Nina Tangri ran in this area in the last Provincial election. Therefore, she must have the name recognition. Mahoney was extremely popular in this riding and his supporters will vote Conservative for revenge on Khan. The people in this riding are concerned where their M.P lives and works, and Khan is too unknown and invisible. The business community will not put their money to the KHAN circus, simply because Khan is there. Tangri wins with 55% of the vote, KHAN loses and hopefully never runs again.

The Green has no chance and the Liberals will lose this seat. Mahoney's supporters will turn to help Nina because she is a great candidate and Khan was the initial reason Mahoney was defeated. Conservative victory here, but by a close margin. The streetsville community and Indo-Canadians will vote for Nina because she is visilbly active and dedicated. Pre-Sponsorship Scandal I would have believed this riding would remain Liberal. Conservatives win in Streetsville!

The Green Party is likely to win in this riding. I think people are taking for granted that for a long time there has been relatively 'low-voter turnout'. There has never been a real alternative. I had a chance to meet Otto at a gathering and he is willing to get his constituents engaged. Even if half of the passive electorate vote for Otto, the other parties will be in for a surprise.

This riding will go Liberal.
1. Nina Tangri is a poor candidate. She's able to win nominations by virtue of her insurance business and that network she is able to exploit by selling memberships.
2. Khan is a good buddy of Martin. Why does this matter? Because PM won't let his friend take a hit, and truthfully, nobody cares whether their MP lives in the riding.
3. No org on the Conservative side. A patch-work org was put together for the provincial campaign, and it's a miracle that Nina got 20,000 votes. Khan has the money and the connections to put together a great team. Nina will rely (again) on the Party HQ to staff her office and get her a campaign manager.
4. Liberals have money, Nina doesn't. She's tapped all her resources, and won't be able to raise nearly enough money to run a decent campaign. Indo-Canadians and the Streetsville business community want a candidate who can win, not someone who can get nominated. The money wont' be there, simply because Nina is.
Pity the fools who suggest because Khan is from Thornhill people will experience a backlash. WRONG PEOPLE! WAKE UP! Nobody cares where their MP is from, as long as he is good to the riding. Khan has to be decent, he did afterall sign up 2500 members for the PM Leadership campaign. Nina hasn't got a hope in hell.
Mahoney's people won't vote Conservative, they'll just stay home. Nina isn't a reason to vote for the blue, so they'll sit on their hands. Any of his volunteers who will go and support the blue machine, won't do so in this riding. Look for them to be fighting for Bob Dechert (who is taking on Mahoney's rival, Carolyn Parrish) or to be staying at home. Trust me, they ain't going to the Tangri circus.
Khan takes 65%, Nina loses (again) and hopefully never re-runs.

The Liberals are most vulnerable in this riding. This was Mahoney's riding until Paul Martin rewarded Wajid Khan for helping him on the Liberal Leadership. Mahoney was forced to duke it out with Caroyln Parrish and Parrish came out on top. Many Mahoney supporters from 2000 are angry with Paul Martin and Wajid Khan and they will most likely defect to the Conservatives. However, Wajid Khan will most likely gather the Muslim vote. The Conservatives have nomintated on the other hand, Nina Tangri. She will gather the Indian vote. Many must not underestimate the Indian vote though. It was that vote that helped elect Vic Dhillon over Tony Clement in Brampton-West-Mississauga last provincial election. 25% of the new riding is from that old riding. An NDP supporter in Mississauga is as rare as Mcguinty keeping a promise. So my prediction is 56% Conservative, 38% Liberal and 6% NDP.

I attended the nomination at Streetsville on Saturday. There was undoubtedly overwheming support for the nominated candidate, Nina Tangri. She beat Mayor Hazel McCallion's son who apprently came in a distant 3rd! If she can carry this strength and enthusiam into the election, the parachuted candidate from the Liberals does not stand a chance.

Yesterday without a doubt, Nina Tangri won the nomination for the candidate. She collected almost 500 votes, while the other 3 candidates collected a total of almost 200 votes. Nina recieved 20,000 votes in her last election, and not only does she have the name recognition, but she lives in the riding. As stated in previous posts, Khan had been parachuted in by Paul Martin, and has no name recognition. If nina can collect more than double the votes of three candidates( David Sikhal, Peter Mccallion who is the mayors son, and Stephens, i have changed my vote liberal to conservative to vote for the candidate and not the party. Although the party may have its own issues, i believe nina can take this riding in a wave with the support of her new party, and more, the awful moves being taken and revealed by the liberals. There is no NDP presence in this riding, as it is a more middle to right wing area.

I have noticed lots of submission for this riding. Isn't it about time you updated it? It seems that there is no doubt that this riding is going to the conservatives. The nomination in this riding is on Mar 27. We will be watching it carefully. It seems that Nina Tangri has worked on this one and will take the riding. She was the provincial candidate and did very well even with the Liberal wave at the time. If she works as hard this time, most of the people in this riding already got to know her, she shouldn't have any problems.

This new riding has lost a very strong Liberal area from Mississauga West and this new riding represents about 25% of Tony Clement's old riding. The Liberals are battling a Sponsorship Scandal. This was a swing riding in the provincial election, and expect the same federally.

The Conservatives are very likely to take the Mississauga-Streetsville riding. The Liberals are fielding a weak parachute candidate who does not even live in the riding. The Conservative candidate will be either public school trustee Don Stevens or Businesswoman Nina Tangry. Both are stong candidates and the area has never been know as a Liberal stronghold. Much of the new riding was represented by Carolyn Parish and she has left a very sour taste in most people's mouths.

This riding will likely swing Conservative even without a blue wave. This was Mahoney's riding. He was forced to run in Erindale because of the liberal candidate Paul Martin parachuted in. Mahoney was a left leaning Chretienite. Mahoney lost and many of his supporters will go NDP or strategically vote for the Conservatives. The liberal here, Wajid Khan, has no name recognition, no one knows him, and he lives in Thornhill. My prediction is 50% Conservative, 40 Liberal and 10 NDP.

I believe Mississauga will swing Tory because many are fed up with the Liberals and misuse of Taxpayers money. To add, many Liberals dislike their candidate in this riding, Wajid Khan, because he was brought in by Paul Martin and this dilemna caused the Major battle between Caroylin Parish and Steve Mahoney, who was the M.P for most of the area in Mississauga Streetsville. Many Mahoney supporters will go Tory beacuse they are angry with Khan. To add, the Conservatives elect a new leader today and that will probably boost their popularity in the polls as a significant opposition.

I can't agree more with Diane. This riding will definitely swing blue. To the editor, I have seen four Conservative submissions, but the the riding is portrayed as too close. To conclude, the 905 region is where the Conservatives can break into Ontario

Paul Martin has become a dictator! There is no doubt that this riding is going blue all the way. With Wajid Khan being parachuted, no-one was allowed to run against him in the nomination - the voters will send a clear message that we live in a democracy and from meeting Nina Tangri (the most possible candidate) she will serve us well. She lives in the riding which is a big plus.

This riding is very interesting. The most likely Conservative candidate, Nina Tangri, has more name recognition than her Liberal counterpart, Wajid Khan. She ran for the Ontario P.C in Mississauga West and gathered over 20,000 votes. Khan lives in Toronto and is not a sitting M.P. This riding looks like it will swing Conservative. If Tony Clement or Belinda Stronach is leader, this riding has greater chances of going blue. The Liberals are trying to recover from a scandal right now and the Conservatives are electing a new leader. They will probably go up in the polls and 905 region will be a major factor into which party comes to power in the next election.

Here we have Wajid Khan, the liberal candidate. He lives in Toronto and is not a sitting M.P. The Conservatives have Nina Tangri. Many remember her from the last provincial election in Mississauga-West for the Tories. The Conservatives are electing a new leader this weekend and whenever a party elects a new leader, they gain support.

This riding looks like it will swing Conservative. The Liberal candidate is NOT a sitting M.P and he was parachuted in by Paul Martin. The Conservative candidate is most likely going to be Nina Tangri. She ran for the Provincial Tories in the last provincial election in Mississauga West. She gathered over 20,000 votes and she seems to have the name recognition here.
