I have yet to see any significant momentum for PP in the GTA area. He's really not doing enough to make his vote count here. He seems to be campaigning in places like Hamilton and London, but isn't making inroads into the GTA. In fact the "Alberta is Calling" campaign is probably more visible than anything the CPC is doing, and that campaign is really all about affordable house prices (of which prices here are now dropping).
The recent win by Liberals in the Mississauga-Lakeshore federal byelection really seems like a microcosm of how the GTA feels at large at the moment.
