Michael Chong has been mp for this riding since 2004 , been some growth in the southern portion of the riding since then either way would expect him to hold this one. |

Michael Chong has won this riding since 2004, including the Trudeau wave in 2015. Yes, the demographics of the riding are changing, including more Liberal-inclined voters in the growing suburbs, but barring a CPC Kim Campbell level collapse, this will be a safe blue riding. |

Chong's support softened in '19 (he was no longer majority); but the Libs softened a lot more--what happened is that it became Ontario's 5th best Green riding (and given its neighbours, including the fact that it surrounds Guelph riding, why not). One result of this is that the centres of Elora & Fergus ceased to be the ‘nodes of red’ they were in '15, as a lot of that energy leaked leftward--meanwhile, the Green dead zone of suburban Georgetown saw plenty of instances of Libs and CPC being jointly above par. And negligible hint of what lay beyond (Adam Van K's conquering of Milton, the thorough ethnoburbanizing Lib dominance of Brampton, etc). Though actually, given that adjacency, I wonder if there might be rumblings on the horizon from ‘Chong moderate’ vote-parkers who aren't on-board with the drift to the right of the CPC grassroots--not to the point of defeat; but the Halton Hills electoral map might wind up looking a lot ‘redder’... |
