John Mccallum: City Of Toronto

Asian Origin Dept: Only John McCallum, the Liberal incumbent in Markham-Unionville, was re-elected, according to CBC. No 905-area riding was under the spotlight during the campaign more than Brampton-Springdale, where pollsters had predicted a close battle between Liberal incumbent Ruby Dhalla and Conservative candidate Parm Gill and the Liberals suffered a stunning collapse in the area around the City of Toronto in Monday night's federal election, losing all but one of their seats in the 905 region to the Conservatives. The Tories took all the other ridings in York Region, along with a complete sweep of Durham and Peel ridings. That included a handful of hotly contested races in Brampton and Mississauga, areas with high concentrations of voters of south- and east-Asian origin. 'New Canadians increasingly realize that their values are Conservative values.' Jason Kenney, Calgary Southeast MP As reported in the news.
