Then-incumbent Conservative MP Ted Opitz faced controversy when he was re-elected in the 2011 election. The Ontario Superior Court declared the riding’s results to be null and void due to an issue with certain votes that were counted. Opitz filed an appeal and won, allowing him to retain his seat until he was unseated by Liberal Wrzesnewskyj in the 2015 election. Opitz is the Conservative nominee for the 2019 election.
The riding lost territory to Etobicoke North but gained territory from Etobicoke-Lakeshore in the 2012 electoral redistribution.
