You're forgetting Dundas which is solidly Liberal. Ancaster could go either way. The main reason Sweet got in again last time is because the Libs ran such a complete nonentity against him. In spite of personal anecdotes about Sweet's niceness (I have one myself. He called me personally and we had a lovely chat about a particular issue), he is widely perceived as being completely useless. Whether that's fair or not is beside the point, perception is huge.
