The Liberals have never won this seat since it was created in 1955. Progressive Conservative MPP Jerry Oullette has held the riding since 1995. The NDP, who held this riding from 1975 to 1995, are competitive, and came within 2,500 votes of Oullette in each of the last three elections.

An established urban city, Oshawa has the lowest marriage rate (45.1 per cent of people under 15) and average household size (2.5) of any of the 905 ridings.
