枫下茶话 / 政治经济 / 看到有好些人说“穷人选自由党，富人选保守党”，好奇之下查了查riding profiles。这里是一些数据： -chutchut(天下任由我踩); 2007-10-11 (#3985292@0)

Toronto Centre的winner是：自由党。Toronto Centre "boasts Ontario's highest average family income." -chutchut(天下任由我踩); 2007-10-11 (#3985294@0)

but election is per person, not per family, right? and i guess many poor people do not even have a family.... nor income..... -win(秋天的菠菜); 2007-10-11 (#3985313@0)

Don Valley West的winner是：自由党。"According to 1996 census, the average family income in this riding is the third highest in the province." -chutchut(天下任由我踩); 2007-10-11 (#3985295@0)
Thornhill的winner是：保守党。"According to the 1996 census, this area ranks sixth highest in Ontario in average family income." -chutchut(天下任由我踩); 2007-10-11 (#3985296@0)
没看到有提到the second highest and the fifth highest，懒得再过一遍了。说“穷人选自由党，富人选保守党”的，可不可以提供一些数据支持下你的论点。穷人和富人又是怎样界定的？ -chutchut(天下任由我踩); 2007-10-11 (#3985298@0)

看来不只我一个对直接或含蓄的“穷人选自由党，富人选保守党”之言论感兴趣! 我没你勤劳,我只查了查保守党魁是加拿大的富人中的富人, 在多伦多的定级富人区,也是安省定级富人区, 落选. -li2005(过客); 2007-10-11 (#3985361@0)

再补充一个, 袁先生, 看星岛日报的报道: "晚10時25分許，袁海耀競選總部選情數據己出現告急，袁當時已被自由黨對手莫偉力開始拋離約1,200張選票。不久，向來被視為保守黨「鐵票地帶」的「富豪山莊」社區，有三個票站區域更竟然出現失守局面"。 -li2005(过客); 2007-10-12 (#3986783@0)

这话当然不正确。靠政府合同的，当然会选左派大政府党。在美国，医生和律师是富人，一个选共和党，一个选民主党。因为律师巴不得政府每天都立法，他们的活越多。 -sherwood(sherwood); 2007-10-11 (#3985354@0)
this is a pic of an elephant, taken from one angle. you can take many pics for the same elephant from different angles,none of them looks the same, while they are all for the same elephant. -win(秋天的菠菜); 2007-10-11 (#3985373@0)

really? even with egg's wide angle len? -farmer(农夫-准备12月份考PPE); 2007-10-11 (#3985394@0)

let's think about it this way. egg has his high-end camera (with wide angle lens) with him. and he tries to take a picture of an elephant. What should he do? -farmer(农夫-准备12月份考PPE); 2007-10-11 (#3985407@0)

whatever he does, a 2dimension pic cannot fully reflect all info of a 3+dimension elepant. -win(秋天的菠菜); 2007-10-11 (#3985419@0)

介个不一定，此说法谬也。 -maer(马儿-小资岛主); 2007-10-11 (#3985384@0)
这种说法不知你哪里听来的，但你那平均收入说事也无稽之谈。设想一个区10个时薪$10的穷人，一个时新1000的CEO，“平均“收入$100/hr，那是相当的高，选举的时候，“穷人”有10票，“富人“就1票，且不说穷人富人投给谁，这样分析没有意义。 -duoshaosuanshao(不多也); 2007-10-12 (#3986703@0)

平均收入还是有意义的，$1000／hr和$10／hr住一个区的可能性有多大？ -baalinca(scarb); 2007-10-12 (#3986776@0)

我认为他说的不错，平均收入不如中位收入在这个问题上有意义。富人区和平民区交错的太多了。比如cosa roma所在的区，豪宅区周围一圈的区都不是一般的差 -grainsw(两只小猪); 2007-10-12 (#3986792@0)
或许他们的意思是富豪雇的住家佣人比较多. -li2005(过客); 2007-10-12 (#3986794@0)

one ceo 1000/hr, 100 workers 10/hr, median is 10/hr; average is 19.8/hr.That is why real estate industry likes average, so do others. -hipacific(crystalblue); 2007-10-12 {61} (#3986803@0)
