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.

Half the margin: the share that would have had to move from first to second.

Flip the seatHypothetical
It would have taken 11,126 voters switching from Liberal to New Democratic — 14.7% of the 75,768 valid votes, 14.7 points — to change the result. No ballot was cast this way; this only moves votes between the top two.

Still Liberal by 22,251 votes. Actual margin: 22,251.
IVElection day versus advance
Only 37.6% 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.
