Toronto, in Colour

So, channelling Tufte, I'm interested in producing some shaded graphs of Toronto's 2004 election results to visualize the results more clearly. Here's the "first past the post" results, courtesy of Elections Canada:

(For Americans: in Canada, blue is bad and red is good. But orange is even better).

The one orange riding is, of course, Toronto-Danforth, where NDP party leader Jack Layton represents the riding. There were several close ridings -- my own riding (Trinity-Spadina) was 23,202 votes for Liberal Tony Ianno versus 22,397 votes for NDP Olivia Chow.
