As a former resident with family still living in this riding, I could simply click NDP and assume the prediction would be given due weight. But I offer a brief analysis, namely, that this riding stays NDP almost without fail no matter the election dynamics. In the days when the NDP were reduced to a handful of seats, the pater familias Bill Blaikie won the seat. By virtue of just winning the seat over and over and over again, which may have led some to conclude that winning was the product of achievement or qualification, Blaikie senior was trotted out to run for the leadership of the party and had a chance to win over the newcomer, a person you might have heard of named Jack Layton. Fortunately for the NDP, the savvier voter saw truth from fiction and Mr Layton was chosen to ride an orange wave. However, not to be outdone by the clear message being sent to the Blaikie entourage that being able to trip into repeated electoral victory in suburban Winnipeg does not necessarily translate into the skills needed to lead a federal party, the family sent Bill’s daughter to NDP HQ where, no post secondary training or worldly experience in hand, she ran the 2015 campaign for Tom Mulcair. The reader of this post needs no lesson on what happened to the NDP then, a result that is haunting them even now. But have no fear! Just as Blaikie Junior was running her party to the ground by promising tax cuts(!), Blaikie junior number 2, this time the son of the father, was gathering support to run locally. And he won and he will win again. I therefore predict that Blaikie fils, electrician turned politician by default, will win. Whether he one day is tapped to also take the NDP into the gutter like his sister aptly did is, I daresay, a matter for another conversation board.

Provincial PCs are unpopular. Look for Liberals and NDP to hold any seats that are marginal between themselves and the Tories. Also, an incumbent NDP MP who's a Blaikie won't hurt matters here.

The provincial PCs are unpopular right now and this riding, while it was shifting right due to new suburban developments, didn't care for the PCs' downgrading of the Concordia Hospital, which led among other things to the unexpected loss of the Transcona seat in the 2019 provincial elections. Blaikie is now entrenched, the Liberal lustre is gone, so there is really nothing to see here.

Long time ndp riding in Winnipeg although did go cpc in 2011 , former cpc candidate and mp Lawrence Toet is not back this year. Replaced by Rejeanne Caron who was the cpc candidate in Saint Bonface in 2019. Current ndp mp Daniel Blaike first elected in 2015 but his father held same riding for years prior. So riding is mostly a race between the ndp and conservatives.

It might have been an ‘only’ 8 point gap in '19; but remember that both Jagmeet and Wab Kinew are up in popularity while the Cons have skidded--also, the former CPC MP (who *should have* benefited from the Scheer wave, but didn't, even if his share also went up from '15) is no longer running. replaced by a trollish standard-bearer who ran in St. Bon in '19. Looks like we're back to the name ‘Blaikie’ being unqualified electoral gold in this NE Winnipeg neck of the woods.

While debatable in the last go around, it seems clear that the larger chunk of the Liberal vote in 2015 safely coalesced around Blaikie allowing him to continue the family business in Elmwood-Transcona. Although this riding may not be immune to future Conservative high tides, Blaikie the younger ought to be safe this go-around.

The NDP prediction makes sense. Blaikie was able to substantially increase his winning margin over the Conservatives in 2019 despite the fact that the Conservatives gained ground in other parts of Manitoba. If the Conservatives couldn't win here in 2019, Blaikie is likely to be re-elected again this time.

I'm not a Manitoban, but I'm surprised to see this as an NDP prediction, given that the NDP only won this riding by 8 points in 2019. I would say Too Close to Call.

With the NDP polling decently, this should likely stay NDP, although if they go lower again this will be competitive with the CPC.
