. On the provincial level of government the Progressive Conservatives Liberals and the New Democrats all hold electoral districts in the GTA. While the GTA provided a strong base of support for the Progressive Conservative government between 1995 and 2003 the Ontario Liberal Party roared to victory in the GTA during the 2003 election and has enjoyed strong support from the region ever since in the 2011 election the Liberals won 33 of the 44 available seats in the GTA allowing Premier Dalton McGuinty to hold onto a minority government the 2014 election under McGuinty's successor Kathleen Wynne was an even bigger electoral landslide for the Liberals as they won 38 seats in the region They even took a number of ridings in territory that had voted PC for decades like Durham Burlington Newmarket-Aurora and Halton the PCs hold no seats in the Peel Region and only one seat in each of the Halton York and Durham regions While the NDP has been weak in the GTA since the 1995 election they have seen some successes in Brampton and the Durham Region where they hold one seat each The Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario has not won a riding in the city of Toronto during a general election since 1999 on the other end of the spectrum the NDP saw major losses in Toronto during the 2014 election and only hold two seats in the city This is no longer the case since the 2018 provincial election as the Progressive Conservatives and the NDP made significant gains at the expense of the Liberals Municipal politics, The American naval squadron exchange fire with Fort York during the Battle of York in April 1813 the American landing is depicted to the west (bottom left of image) On 27 April 1813 American forces led by Zebulon Pike attacked York After the British-Native force failed to prevent the American landings (in present-day Parkdale) British forces ordered a withdrawal realizing that defence was impossible Upon their departure British forces rigged Fort York's gunpowder magazine to explode it exploded as the American forces were about to enter the fort killing Pike and a contingent of his men in the following days American forces sacked the town and burned a number of properties including the Parliament Buildings the town remained occupied until May 8 when American forces departed the settlement In addition to the Battle of York two other American incursions occurred in the town during the war the second incursion occurred several months later on 31 July An American squadron originally planned to attack British forces at Burlington Heights; although finding the British too well-entrenched in the Heights opted to raid York instead the landings at York went unopposed with most York's garrison moving west to defend Burlington Heights American forces raided the town's food and military stores as well as destroyed several military structures before departing the same night The third incursion into York occurred a year later in August 1814 on 6 August 1814 an American naval squadron arrived outside of York's harbour dispatching USS Lady of the Lake to enter the town's harbour in an effort to gauge its defences. After the ship briefly exchanged fire with the improved Fort York built several hundred metres to the west from its original position the USS Lady of the Lake withdrew and returned to the American squadron outside the harbour American forces did not attempt a landing during this incursion although remained outside the town's harbour for the following three days before departing Post-War of 1812, See also: Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area 2.4 Topography Modernist apartment towers of St James Town based on Le Corbusier's "towers in the park" concept The postwar years also saw the rise of apartment style housing in the 1960s and 1970s this kind of housing was mostly focused on low to middle income residents Beginning in the 1950s the city bulldozed older lower income neighbourhoods replacing them with housing projects ultimately destroying large sections of Victorian housing the earliest and most notorious example of such projects was Regent Park it replaced a large portion of Cabbagetown with a series of low-rise and high-rise buildings that quickly became crime-ridden and even more depressed than the neighbourhood it replaced in later years similar projects such as Moss Park and Alexandra Park were less disastrous but also far from successful Canada's densest community St James Town was built in this era as a high-rise community of private and public housing in separate towers also replacing a Victorian neighbourhood These patterns changed dramatically beginning in the 1970s and gentrification began transforming once poor neighbourhoods such as Cabbagetown into some of the city's most popular and expensive real estate Outside of the core even new neighbourhoods experienced significant high-rise apartment building construction as builders embraced the "towers in the park" design invented by Le Corbusier the towers were built further from the sidewalk leaving room on the property around the edifice for parking lawns trees and other landscaping They are typically simple brick-clad high-rise buildings with rectangular footprints and little ornamentation other than repeating series of balconies for each apartment However some apartment buildings from this era utilize less conventional designs in the "tower in the park" format such as the Prince Arthur Towers Jane-Exbury Towers and 44 Walmer Road designed by Uno Prii In 1972 the Canadian tax code was radically altered making rental housing much less attractive to investors At the same time deindustrialization opened a number of new areas to residential development the new projects took the form of condominiums This form of housing was introduced in the province's Condominium Act in the 1960s but it was not until the 1980s that condos become very popular An initial condo boom started in 1986 but the market collapsed in the late 1980s and early 1990s recession and many investors were badly mauled In 1995 condo prices were still 30% below the earlier highs. That year a new boom began in Toronto that has continued to this day An unprecedented number of new projects have been built in Toronto in 2000 Condo Life magazine listed 152 separate projects underway within the city of Toronto by 2007 the number of projects in the GTA had reached 247 This development has been concentrated in the downtown core especially in the former industrial areas just outside the central business district the largest such project is CityPlace a cluster of condo towers on former railway lands by the lake shore This $2 billion project will eventually consist of 20 different towers housing some 12,000 people. Transit-oriented developments are also common in Toronto such as at North York Centre and Sheppard East along the namesake subway line and Sheppard West along the subway line's future westward extension Commercial architecture.
