Big Jim might be right that the NDP could be down to one seat in Toronto -- but if that does happen, this will be that seat. |

Matt L 207.164.79.44 |
Even though the NDP has dipped in the polls in the city, I believe this riding will remain orange. The Liberals would have to overcome a 9000 vote deficit from 2011 - a feat that would require a red tide in the 75+ seat majority territory. The NDP has a huge and reliable base in the area - the MP, two city councillors and trustee are all NDP. This is a riding that stayed NDP even after their weak 1995, 1999 and 2003 provincial results. The votes Tabuns loses in Riverdale and Leslieville from left-of-centre voters mad about Horwath's perceived shift to the middle or voting down of the Liberal budget could be alleviated by an increase in support among small-c conservatives in East York who are drawn towards the NDP's 'bread and butter' platform like cuts on hydro rates. Expect the massive local NDP margins from 2011 to dip, but this should remain firmly in the NDP column. |

Big jim 99.237.175.18 |
Red wave about to hit TO again and maybe only 1 ndp left after |
 | 14 05 22 |
Alice 67.70.86.233 |
Despite the falling numbers of the NDP in Toronto, I think this seat is safe for them. |
 | 14 05 20 |
A.S. 99.233.52.111 |
The only Toronto ONDP seat where the Liberals only put in a token effort in '11--and surely not out of rote respect for Jack, given the near-derailment of Rosario Marchese's supposed sure bet in Olivia's federal stronghold (and Jack's actual home riding). |

Trinity-Spadina Progressive 70.49.168.176 |
For many Toronto progressives, Tabuns would have been the better choice for ONDP leader. Either way, this is the safest NDP seat in Toronto and Tabuns will hold on easily. |
 | 14 05 07 |
Trinity-Spadina Progressive 70.49.168.176 |
Peter Tabuns would appealed a lot more to Toronto progressives than Andrea Horwath as NDP leader. Horwath's left-Fordist populism doesn't play well in inner city Toronto. Nonetheless this is the safest riding for the NDP in the city and Tabuns should have no trouble hanging on. |

monkey 174.114.16.226 |
This has long been a strong NDP riding and unlike Trinity-Spadina where you have the new condos shifting it towards the Liberals, no such change has occurred here. |
 | 13 09 14 |
198.200.89.110 |
This is the bedrock of the Toronto NDP. If the liberals took 60% in Toronto (very unlikely), this seat would still be NDP. Tabuns will comfortably hold. |

seasaw 99.225.1.213 |
Four big reasons why NDP will hang on: 1; MPP Peter Tabuns is high profile, experienced, well liked and well respected 2; The riding has always sent an NDPer to Queens Park even when the NDP has done very poorly everywhere else 3; the polls right now suggest that NDP has the highest level of support since Rae days 4; The Liberals in the past have recruited some high profile candidates in order to win this and that's back when their support was sky high, and NDP support was at an all time low, they failed, now the tables seem to have turned a bit. There are many other reasons, but I think the four that I've mentioned should suffice. |

It's Toronto Danforth, need I say more - NDP win |
