For Regina, one riding likely goes NDP (Urban Riding), one will probably stay Conservative (Rural-Urban), and Ralph Goodale(Urban) will probably continue to win his seat for the Liberals until he retires.
And I think with Saskatoon, you might have 1 or 2 seats going to the NDP with the Conservatives maintaining either 1 or 2. Some of them seem pretty close.
You can also really see in these maps how including the huge rural areas with the urban really drowns out the left-leaning urban vote.
