Hello? The average income of this district is twice that of the province, and of the city. Half the residents live in the wealthy neighbourhoods in the district. This is our 1%. Inflation doesn’t impact them. Higher capital gains tax does. The other half are in apartment buildings along yonge in mid-town. Fashionable and desirable area. The north boundary of district is called “young and eligible”. Rising cost of homes impact their home ownership aspirations. Some of these apartment dwellers have swung to cons. Libs have fucked up big time.

So you’re suggesting that Trudeau Liberal policies were somehow preferred in this area by massive margin in 2015, 2019 and 2021 but aren’t now, with the only real policy change that negatively affects these people is capital gains?

Quite honestly, I’ll be surprised if this riding remains CPC during the next federal election. My gut instinct is that there’s probably a small contingent of ABC voters who had planned on staying home during the next election but now that reality has hit they’ll come out. And this margin was so narrow it’ll flip here.
