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! 1995 58 Main articles: William Lyon Mackenzie and the Reform Movement (Upper Canada), York University (Toronto), 54 Midfielder Ryan Telfer (on loan to York 9) Canada Designed by Frederick Cumberland using Norman and Romanesque Revival styles University College's was completed in 1859 The University of Toronto (U of T) has embraced dramatic design and monumentalism and its prominent location at the centre of the city has given its structures a wide impact Built up over almost two centuries the university's buildings cover a wide range of styles the Collegiate Gothic style was embraced for many of the earliest buildings such as Hart House Trinity College and Burwash Hall but there are also examples of almost all the Victorian revival styles on campus in recent decades the university has built examples of modernism such as McLennan Physical Laboratories; brutalism such as Robarts Library; and postmodernism such as the graduate house by Pritzker Architecture Prize winner Thom Mayne Sir Norman Foster designed the University of Toronto's Leslie L Dan Pharmacy Building which is home to the largest pharmacy faculty in Canada it was completed in 2006 The other two major universities York and Ryerson Universities have largely been built in more recent years and have fewer architectural monuments Ryerson was long mostly hidden within the downtown streetscape with the Brutalist library podium and Jorgensen Hall complex being one half block east of Yonge Street but since the 1990s an unprecedented building project has greatly expanded the campus and made it much more visible York like many of the universities that largely came into being in the 1950s and 1960s has mostly eschewed monumentalism in pursuit of less dramatic but more egalitarian architecture particularly Brutalist architecture such as the Scott Library The Ontario College of Art and Design for many years confined to a series of comparatively unprepossessing buildings in the western part of downtown was transformed in 2004 by the addition of the Will Alsop's Sharp Centre of Design it consists of a black and white speckled box suspended four storeys off the ground and supported by a series of multi-coloured pillars at different angles Museums! .
