Summary

69% Informative

The Conservatives managed to take several seats from the Liberals , who now continue as a minority government.

But more surprisingly, multiple former orange NDP strongholds once propped up on union shoulders turned Tory blue.

The Conservatives were very much targeting the labour vote and saw an opportunity to get support of blue-collar workers.

The NDP , with its identity built on being the party of labour, was decimated.

United Association Local 67 , representing plumbers and pipefitters in the Hamilton area, was among the first to get behind Poilievre .

Conservative promises of more respect for workers, better paycheques, training programs, and killing the carbon tax resonated among blue-collar ranks.
