This could very well be the biggest NDP victory of any electoral district. Gelinas may even break 70%! Nickel Belt has voted NDP in every election for the last 50 years.

Over 60% for the NDP in 2014? Easy hold, especially in today's electoral environment.

France Gelinas is extremely popular and nobody will come close to her. Many people here work in mining and most of them are big NDP supporters. If the NDP were to win government then Gelinas would definitely be in cabinet. I spend a lot of time in this riding and her popularity is unbelievably high. It wouldn't surprise me to see her get over 70% of the votes this time.

The federal Nickel Belt went Liberal; but it had Sturgeon Falls, and its provincial counterpart doesn't. And one'd have to read an *awful* lot into Ford Tory populist strength to think of this as being within PC radar. Gelinas had the best ONDP result in 2014, and it's hard to see things as being much different now...

Although the federal liberals sometimes win this riding, its remained fairly safe for the ndp at the provincial level and France Gelinas is running again, not as interesting as Sudbury race.

This has long been an NDP stronghold and with how unpopular the Liberals are in Northern Ontario, it will be more about holding onto what they have, not picking up new seats.
