While real, Italian-Canadian Liberal support tends to be ‘Blue Lib’ conditional, and heavily laden by qualities that also dispose it t/w Ford Nationalism. However, the more enduringly broad rightward shift that's seemingly permanently imprinted once-Lib-reliable ethno-cohorts such as the Jewish, the Chinese, and the Polish (to say nothing of ‘Reagan Democrats’ in the US) has so far evaded the Italians--thus the 15-point gap over a wouldbe ‘star candidate’ last time (albeit one not blessed by a desirably Italian surname--that is, the ScheerCons' candidacy tin-earedness striking again). Though for CPC, at least Vaughan-Woodbridge is no St Leonard-St Michel, i.e. they're still ‘viable’ here. |

Italian-Canadians vote Liberal. Period. Almost always have, and almost always will. It's very difficult to dislodge the Liberals here; the Conservatives require a big name (eg. Fantino) and a particularly weak Liberal campaign to pull it off. I don't see that happening this time. |

Vaughan-Woodbridge is no longer the super-duper Liberal fortress it was in the Chretien era, but a pretty middling 905 riding one at this point. As long as the Liberals lead in the GTA, they should be safe. Not sure if running a non-Italian candidate diminished the CPC numbers somewhat last time. |
