Glen Murray was elected to this traditional Liberal enclave by more than 13,000 votes in 2011. He was first elected in a 2010 byelection to replace former Health Minister and Toronto mayoral candidate George Smitherman.
By the numbers
The riding may include the posh neighbourhood of Rosedale, but it’s overwhelmingly the home of young apartment-dwellers – 52.1% of households have just one person. The average household size of 1.8 is the lowest in Ontario, as is the 30.5% rate of marriage for people over 15.
Riding in a tweet
Toronto Centre has areas that are friendly to all three parties, but the Liberals have been traditional favourites here for decades.
