The National Post has some excellent maps at its site, tracking fine-grained changes on the level of major Canadian municipalities and going back in time.

In my riding, my favoured candidate, incumbent NDP MP Andrew Cash, lost to the Liberals' Julie Dzerowicz. That's unfortunate, but these sorts of things happen in competitive elections. Meanwhile, with turnout on the order of 68%, up substantially from 2011, there's some reason to hope for the strength of electoral democracy. (The non-Harper outcome is also nice.)

Well done, Canada!
