[edit] New Brunswick

Profile & Notes Electoral History
The 1958 election saw the Progressive Conservatives win a majority of the ridings in New Brunswick. In the time period between 1958 and 1979 they would never repreat this feat. However, since then New Brunswick has been well divided between the Liberals and the Conservatives. 1962, 1963 and 1965 had the Liberals in the majority (6-4). 1968 and 1972 saw an even 5-5 split between the two parties. In 1974 the Liberal would win 6 seats again, the tories only 3, this time with one independent, Leonard C. Jones in the riding of Moncton. 1974 would see the Liberals win 7 seats with only 3 for the tories. In 1979 the tories gained one back. In New Brunswick the Liberals generally do well in the north, and in pocekets of the south.

[edit] Quebec

[edit] Eastern Quebec

Profile & Notes Electoral History
In 1958, John Diefenbaker's tories were able to win all but the riding of Lévis, which went Liberal. In 1962 the tories were cut down to just two seats in this region, as the Social Credit Party came on to the scene. The Socreds did very well in this region between 1962 and 1979. They won 4 seats in 1962, 2 seats in 1963, 1 seat in 1965 as the Ralliement Crédititste, 2 in 1968 as the Créditiste, 3 seats in 1972 and 1974 as the Socreds, and 2 in 1979. The tories just won one seat in 1965 and were swept off the map in 1963, 1968, 1972, 1974, 1979. Despite winning every other seat, the Liberals have not done well here compared to the rest of Quebec.

[edit] Côte-Nord and Saguenay

Profile & Notes Electoral History
In 1958 The tories were able to sweep all ridings except for Lapointe which held on to the Liberals. Four years later however, it was the Social Credit Party that swept every riding in this region. In 1963 they began to deteriote, first losing the riding of Saguenay to the Liberals, then in 1965 Chicoutimi and Charlevoix went to the tories. By 1968, Roberval was the only seat to remain with the SoCreds. Charlevoix switched to them in 1972, but lost in 1974, and by 1979 Roberval remained as the only SoCred seat, as the Liberals have every other seat.

[edit] Central Québec

Profile & Notes Electoral History
In the tory sweep of 1958, 2 seats were able to hold on for the Liberals in Central Quebec; in Richelieu-Vercheres and in St. Maurice-Lafleche. Four years later, the tories were only able to hold on to 4 seats. 3 tory seats went to the SoCreds, while one liberal seat went to them. In addition the Liberals took 2 seats from the tories. In the next election (1963), the Liberals gained 2 more seats, one from the tories and one from the SoCreds. The tories were wiped out in 1965 leaving 2-non Liberal seats. Portneuf was held by Social Credit while Trois-Rivieres was held by independent and former Liberal Wilfrid Gariépy. Trois-Rivieres turned Liberal in 1968, but the Liberals ended up losing 2 seats to the SoCreds, and the riding of Joliette to the tories. It was this riding, that turned independent in the following election, when Roch LaSalle became one, and was re-elected. He was re-elected as a tory again in 1974, meanwhile the SoCreds were reduced to 2 seats. By 1979, they were left with one seat, Lotbiniere.
