Federal and provincial Conservatives are winning over more visible minority voters in the GTA, a new study has found.
According to researchers at the University of Toronto’s School of Cities, visible minorities in the GTA, who make up more than half of the population, are increasingly backing Conservative candidates in federal and provincial elections. The study, out Wednesday, considers anyone, besides Indigenous people, who are non-Caucasian in race or non-white in colour as a visible minority, as defined by Statistics Canada.
The findings are based on federal and Ontario election results over the past two decades, including the two most recent national and provincial elections earlier this year.
