The Liberal Party’s Yvan Baker won this riding’s seat in the 2019 election, beating Conservative candidate Ted Opitz by 10,996 votes.
Opitz faced controversy when he was re-elected by a mere 26 votes in 2011, beating out Liberal incumbent Borys Wrzesnewsky. The Ontario Superior Court declared the riding’s results to be null and void due to suspected clerical errors with some of the votes.
However, Opitz filed an appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada and won, which allowed him to retain his seat until he was defeated by Wrzesnewskyj in the 2015 election.
