A weblog for members of the Canadian Cartographic Association and other individuals interested in all things cartographic
Over on the GISuser weblog, Glenn complains about the lack of maps showing the results of Monday’s election results in Canada. I took up the challenge and produced a couple of maps, showing the winning parties and the percentage of the vote the winners garnered (image at left). For comparison sake, I've included a similar map for the 2004 election (image at right). Not the greatest maps but a quick indication of the changes in the political landscape in Canada. Higher resolution images are available on request (ccablog@yahoo.ca).

Nice job on the swift response in creating a map of the results. It's surprising that with all the mashers and hackers out there that some creative apps weren't created to show the results. I can only assume that the problem lies in the difficulty obtaining a decent digital base to work with... once again, thanks!

Beautiful.
Great job.
A very nice illustration of our political geography.
Though, wouldn't orange have been a better colour for the NDP?
When the poll-by-poll results come out, I wonder how challenging it would be to map those? How people voted at the sub-riding level might prove very interesting.
