Ridings

ridings: If Tom Mulcair is to emerge as the leader who represents change in October, he must hold ridings in urban Toronto, ridings that his party has taken away from the Liberals, according to Toronto Star. Hold and build elsewhere. His third stop: Davenport.TORONTO—The challenge for both men is plain. If change is to be represented by Justin Trudeau, then he must begin by taking back these ridings that once were reliably in his party column, ridings like Davenport, Parkdale-High Park and Beaches-East York. Welcome to battleground Davenport, a ground struggle fought in English, Portuguese, Italian and Spanish, an electoral struggle played out in working class neighbourhoods dotted with religious icons and lawn ornaments, wrought-iron railings and meticulously-trimmed lawns. He must use them as building blocks while holding the likes of Toronto Centre and Spadina-Fort York. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
