Fortress Toronto

Did anyone catch Global TV's Fortress Toronto graphic during the election coverage last night?

The map of TO had a wall around the 17 ridings that make up the core of the city.  Arrows began to appear from the blue Conservative ridings surrounding it and advanced into the city.  Then arrows sprung up in the NDP orange lakeshore ridings and attacked on the Liberals' flank.  Finally red arrows began to spear outward from Liberal-held ridings into the Conservative's encircling ridings.  

As an avid wargamer, it looked like they were analyzing one of Rommel's battles or troop movements in the Bulge.

But most bizarre was the commentator's remarks about 'mobilizing the Jews'!  I'm fairly certain he misspoke and meant mobilize the 'Jewish vote' in York Centre.  But it certainly sounded sinister!
