Going to be close but I think the Liberals hold on here. A seat the CPC have to win if they want to win govt. tomorrow. |

With the Tories polling at 33% both country-wide and in Ontario, I think that they will take this riding. My opinion is actually that this riding is more favourable than Cambridge for the Liberals (due to Conestoga College, and the suburbs in the western part of the riding), and that the Tories will take both of them. If Tabbara had a higher profile, things might be different, but I think that this riding will go the way of other suburban ridings, which seems now to be Conservative. |

This was a new created riding in 2015, made from parts of nearby Kitchener area ridings. Marwan Tabbara pulled off a surprise victory last election as it was predicted to go conservative. The cpc has a new candidate this election as Alan Keeso was nominated some time ago. Still a close race at this point. |

Frankly, I'd equate this less with Brantford-Brant than with Cambridge right next door--and unlike either, it has neither a significant 'city centre' (Hespeler comes closest) nor significant rural hinterland (other than that which separates Kitchener from Hespeler). And the Grand River forms the main red/blue divide at hand here, with Hespeler and the Pioneer Tower neighbourhood on the 'blue' side, and much of the southward Kitchener sprawl on the 'red' side (and Doon Village straddling the two). The provincial PC 'underperformance' (if that's what it is) is definitely worth noting, and perhaps as an electoral-demographic portent of things to come in K-W--and of course, the 'status quo' dynamic that could come to Harold Albrecht's rescue in Kitchener-Conestoga could *also* work on behalf of Tabbara. Who, unlike Albrecht, won by a more-than-recount margin...and who got a higher share in victory than the PCs' Amy Fee did provincially. |

If the Tories recover to 33% nationally, expect this to go blue. It's prime suburban territory that is more akin to Brantford-Brant than Kitchener Centre or Waterloo. |

This is definitely not a safe or comfortable riding for the Liberals, and it could potentially be an open seat, but it is noticeable that the Conservatives have underperformed in the Kitchener area both in 2015 and in 2018 (PCs) , more noticeably in the Kitchener-Conestoga riding. Either way, it's a swing riding that could easily go to the Conservatives. |

This is going to be a CPC pickup. Last election, this was a narrow Liberal victory for two reasons, first, it was a change election and second Trudeau was very popular then. Now, with the Liberal leadership in question and stronger polling numbers for the CPC, this one should move to the blue column |
