Hull—Aylmer (formerly known as Hull) is a federal electoral district in Quebec, Canada, that has been represented in the Canadian House of Commons since 1917.

It was created as "Hull" riding in 1914 from parts of Labelle and Wright ridings. It was renamed "Hull—Aylmer" in 1984.

It encompasses the sectors of Hull and Aylmer located in the city of Gatineau, Quebec. The neighbouring ridings are Gatineau, Pontiac, Ottawa West—Nepean, Ottawa Centre, and Ottawa-Vanier.

It is one of the most Liberal ridings in Canada: the Liberal Party has won in every election in this riding since its creation. Even when the province of Quebec was turning its back to them, the Liberals survived in Hull-Aylmer in 1984, 2004 and 2006. In the last election, however, it was the only riding in Canada where four candidates received over 15% of the vote, and the only riding in Quebec outside of the Greater Montreal Area the Liberals managed to win.

[edit] Political geography

In the 2006 election, only five polls in the Aylmer sector did not vote Liberal. In the Hull sector, the Bloc Québécois performed very well in almost every neighbourhood. The Bloc's support was the most highly concentrated in the Wrightville, Mont-Bleu and Des Hautes Plaines neighbourhoods of Hull, but they also performed well in Le Plateau, Birch Manor, Jardins-Mackenzie-King, Jardins-Alexandre-Taché, Val-Tétreau, Lac-des-Fées and Ironside. Liberal support was constrained mostly to the neighbourhood of Parc-de-la-Montagne and the Île de Hull which was generally evenly split between the two parties. The Conservatives did not win a single poll in the riding, despite finishing ahead of the NDP which won two in Aylmer. The NDP won a poll in Lakeview-Terasse as well as a poll in Parc-Glenwood, where they received less than 25% of the vote, despite winning it.
