The 2021 column is Elections Canada's official transposition of the 2021 result onto these 2023 boundaries. ± is the change in each party's share. It is not "swing": with four or more competitive parties there is no single pair to swing between.
IIIHow close was it, really
Swing needed to flip
6.1 pts
Half the margin: the share that would have had to move from first to second.
Third place vs. the margin
3,164 votes
New Democratic took fewer than the 7,206-vote margin.
Election-day polls won by others

2 polls ended in an exact tie.
Flip the seatHypothetical
It would have taken 3,604 voters switching from Conservative to Liberal — 6.1% of the 59,015 valid votes, 6.1 points — to change the result. No ballot was cast this way; this only moves votes between the top two.
Conservative31,201

Still Conservative by 7,206 votes. Actual margin: 7,206.
IVElection day versus advance
Only 55.6% of this riding's votes were cast at election-day polls. The rest were advance or special ballots.

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.
