DESCRIPTION:Scholars have observed an increasingly strong relationship betw
 een population density and partisan support in the United States\, with De
 mocratic support coming from higher-density urban counties and Republican 
 support from lower-density rural ones. We analyze the density-partisan rel
 ationship in Canada with an original data set consisting of election retur
 ns by polling division for the eight Federal elections between 2000 and 20
 21. The large number polling divisions in Canada (over 50\,000) permit ana
 lyses from the micro-scale of the precinct (200-500 people) to the level o
 f districts (up to 100\,000 people). In addition to the fine geographic de
 tail provided by these data\, Canada’s multi-party system permits a more s
 ystematic\, nuanced analysis than the American case. The preliminary resul
 ts show that the centre-left Liberal Party follows a pattern similar to th
 e Democratic Party in the U.S.\, but other Canadian parties do not display
  strong density-partisan relationships.\n\nBenjamin Forest is an Associate
  Professor of Geography\, an Associate Member of the Department of Politic
 al Science\, a member of the Centre for the Study of Democratic Citizenshi
 p\, and a fellow at the ɬÀï·¬ Institute for the Study of Canada. He recei
 ved his Ph.D. in Geography from UCLA in 1997\, and was an Assistant and th
 en Associate Professor at Dartmouth College from 1998 to 2006. His current
  research examines redistricting and concepts of political community\, the
  political representation of ethnic minority groups and women\, the politi
 cs of memory and identity (particularly in the post-Soviet sphere)\, and v
 arious issues of electoral geography\, political parties\, and governance.
  In recent years\, he has received funding from the Social Sciences and Hu
 manities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) and the Fonds de recherche du 
 Québec - société et culture (FRQSC).\n
