True, there is corruption in Vic Toews' own campaign, but it will be nullified by his stance on social issues, especially gay marriage. This is like a 180-degree inverse of liberal urban ridings: corruption is not the first priority. Should the Conservatives form government, Toews would likely be Minister of Justice, and with that he would scrap gay marriage - the main issue here. As a result, he picks up even more votes for an overwhelming majority. This will be the biggest Conservative majority outside Alberta. Predicted results: CPC 71%, LIB 15%, NDP 10%, GRN 3%, others 1%. |

Don't forget that Toews is guilty of campaign overspending in his 1999 provincial re-election bid. That is some CPC corruption. So while he may still win, I don't see why his scale of victory should go up even more, and may even go down somewhat. |

Vic will be returned to Ottawa with his largest victory yet. If the CPC form government look for him to become a Minister. |

This is a very conservative riding with biblically centered towns such as Steinbach which have a large Mennonite population. Vic Toews will not only be re-elected, but may very well be the next Minister of Justice, unfortunately, since I personally don't like his socially conservative views. It should also be noted that this is one of the few ridings the Conservative vote in 2004 exceeded the combined PC/Alliance vote in 2000. |
