Progressive Conservative Party: Immigrant Populations

Ethnic Areas Dept: Late Monday night, Sunny Gill, a young politically motivated Sikh Canadian, completed an impressive double by winning the Progressive Conservative party s Brampton West riding association presidency, according to The Star. Federally, the Conservatives have identified dozens of ridings party strategists feel are in play, mostly in urban areas with large immigrant populations. If even a third of them swing, that could give Prime Minister Stephen Harper a majority government and brampton could well be ground zero in the fight between Liberals trying to hold on to the urban immigrant vote, and Conservatives, who are making inroads in heavily ethnic areas. He was already the local federal riding association president, and with the recent victory he now holds the same position at the provincial level. He s one of a growing number of Punjabi Canadians gravitating to the Conservatives. As reported in the news.
