2019 Candidates to Support and Oppose – Targeted Ridings

This document lists targeted ridings where candidates should be supported or opposed:

• Ridings where the vote was very close between 2 or 3 parties in the 2015 election (within 7.7% of each other). • Ridings that are currently a “toss-up” or “leaning” according to 338canada.com. • Ridings for six party leaders, all of whom won in 2015 or a later byelection by a greater than 12.9% margin (except for the new Bloc Québécois leader).

We selected these so that the party most likely to defeat an anti-choice candidate in the 2019 election can be supported, if you wish to vote strategically. If not, please support any progressive candidate you prefer. (Check the “Links to election resources” below to ensure you’re aware of other potential anti-choice candidates in your riding.)

The selected progressive candidates in this document are all pro-choice. Conservative candidates with an “Unknown” stance should be assumed to be anti-choice. √ – Pro-choice candidate X – Anti-choice candidate √ – Alternate candidate to support If your riding is not listed here, use our other tool: Check Your Riding for Candidates’ Stance on Abortion. If you’re in a solid Conservative riding, please consider donating or volunteering for another close riding from our list below, or support your local progressive candidate anyway.

As voters know their own ridings best, we welcome more information on the candidates and polling changes. The list will be updated as new information becomes available.
