On today's boundaries the Liberals were first here in 2004 (58.8%), 2006 (54.5%), 2008 (47.8%), 2015 (51.8%), 2019 (51.3%), 2021 (52.3%) and 2025 (53.2%) and the Conservatives in 2011 (40.2%), each with the share of the valid votes shown.
A stronghold is a party first at every general election since 2004, by an average of 20 points or more over the next party; held, first at every one; usually, first at all but one. By-elections are not counted. By this rule 83 of the 343 ridings are usually one party's. The results before 2021 are carried onto today's boundaries by where the riding's 2025 electors lived: our estimate, from the older boundaries of Taylor, Lucas, Kirby and Hewitt and the results in Sevi's "Who Runs?". 2021 is Elections Canada's transposition, and 2025 the official result. In 2011 the carried top two are within two points, so which party was first is less certain.
