2021 is Elections Canada's transposition of that election onto the 2023 boundaries, not an election held on these lines.

The Conservatives were first here at seven of the eight general elections from 2004 to 2025; the NDP were first in 2021. In 2025 the Conservatives took 45.5% of the vote here, 2.0 points below their average of 47.5% at the seven general elections from 2004 to 2021.

On today's boundaries the Conservatives were first here in 2004 (47.3%), 2006 (51.1%), 2008 (52.5%), 2011 (53.9%), 2015 (40.3%), 2019 (51.4%) and 2025 (45.5%) and the NDP in 2021 (39.9%), 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.

Before 2025

2021 New Democratic · Blake Desjarlais, by 1,500 votes (3.4 pts)

How this is measured. Electors: the share of the current riding's 2025 ordinary-list electors who lived in each former riding, each 2025 polling division placed in the 2013 riding a point inside it falls in. Area: the share of the current riding's area that came from each former riding, by intersecting the 2013 and 2023 boundary files, and how much of the former riding that part was. Area is land, not population. Elections Canada counts 48 of 343 ridings as entirely unchanged.

IIIHow close was it, really

Third place vs. the margin

8,973 votes

Liberal took more than the 5,539-vote margin. True in 100 of 343 ridings in 2025.

Flip the seatHypothetical

It would have taken 2,770 voters switching from Conservative to New Democratic — 5.7% of the 48,966 valid votes, 5.7 points — to change the result. No ballot was cast this way; this only moves votes between the top two.

Voters who switch: 005,540

Conservative22,256

New Democratic16,717

Still Conservative by 5,539 votes. Actual margin: 5,539.

IVElection day versus advance

Only 59.0% of this riding's votes were cast at election-day polls. The rest were advance or special ballots.

On election day the Conservatives took 46.8%, the New Democrats 31.6% and the Liberals 19.2%; in advance and special ballots, 43.5%, 37.8% and 17.1%, in that order.

An association, not a cause. Voters who cast ballots before election day differed from those who turned out on the day. It does not say why. There is no poll-level turnout figure on this page: the elector count on a polling division includes people who voted in advance and were counted elsewhere.
