Last Election: If this riding existed in 2011, the Conservatives would have earned 46.0 per cent of the vote, followed by the Liberals with 33.6 per cent.
History: The northern half of this new riding has elected only Conservative MPs since 2004, but the two ridings that used to cover Pickering are recent converts. Both elected Conservatives in 2011, but had been Liberal for three elections before that.
