Since 2021

Against the 2021 result on these boundaries, the New Democrats are down 12.8 (50.0% to 37.2%), the Liberals up 7.8 (28.8% to 36.6%), the Conservatives up 10.5 (14.0% to 24.5%) and the Greens down 2.6 (3.6% to 1.0%), in points of the valid votes.

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

The NDP were first at six of the eight general elections from 2004 to 2025, the Liberals at two; it changed hands once. In 2025 the NDP took 37.2% of the vote here, 4.5 points below their average of 41.7% at the seven general elections from 2004 to 2021.

On today's boundaries the Liberals were first here in 2004 (40.7%) and 2006 (43.8%) and the NDP in 2008 (34.0%), 2011 (48.0%), 2015 (43.5%), 2019 (47.0%), 2021 (50.0%) and 2025 (37.2%), 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 160 of the 343 ridings have no degree. 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 · Don Davies, by 9,972 votes (24.9 pts)
2019 New Democratic · Don Davies, by 11,486 votes (26.0 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

12,352 votes

Conservative took more than the 303-vote margin. True in 100 of 343 ridings in 2025.

Flip the seatHypothetical

It would have taken 152 voters switching from New Democratic to Liberal — 0.3% of the 50,446 valid votes, 0.3 points — to change the result. No ballot was cast this way; this only moves votes between the top two.

Still New Democratic by 303 votes. Actual margin: 303.

IVElection day versus advance

Only 55.8% of this riding's votes were cast at election-day polls. The rest were advance or special ballots. On election day alone, the Liberals led here — the seat was decided by ballots cast before the day.

On election day the New Democrats took 35.1%, the Liberals 35.6% and the Conservatives 27.5%; in advance and special ballots, 40.0%, 37.9% and 20.7%, 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.
