Regional Profile
The city of Winnipeg is a mixed bag where all three major parties hold seats. The north end of Winnipeg is a very left-leaning area which has some of the strongest New Democratic Party support in all of Canada. The south end (with many Jewish and Franco-Manitoban voters) is one of the few areas in the Prairies that the Liberals have been successful in recent years. Conservative support is fairly strong in the outer suburban areas as well, and they managed to pick up their first seats in Winnipeg in recent memory in 2004, in one case defeating a star candidate. The Conservatives picked up another seat in 2006, one more in 2008 and two additional seats in 2011.

Famous quotes containing the word profile:
“Nature centres into balls,
And her proud ephemerals,
Fast to surface and outside,
Scan the profile of the sphere;
Knew they what that signified,
A new genesis were here.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
