Results of the Canadian federal election, 2004

This is a seat by seat list of candidates in the 2004 Canadian election.

For more information about the election see Canadian federal election, 2004.

2004 federal redistribution

Due to the 2001 census, Canada's 301 electoral districts increased to 308 as of April 1, 2004. Boundary changes took effect across the country to even out population redistribution, and seven new districts were formed. Each province has a minimum amount of seats, and therefore it is rare for a province to lose seats in a redistribution. The numbers beside the region names correspond to the map below.

Quebec

Throughout most of recent history, the Liberals have dominated in federal politics in Quebec, even when Quebec voters were simultaneously electing the Parti Québécois at the provincial level.

There have been temporary Progressive Conservative breakthroughs under Diefenbaker in the 1958 election, and under native son Brian Mulroney in the 1984 election and the 1988 election, but these did not last. The 1958 result was helped by an alliance with Maurice Duplessis's formidable provincial electoral machine. But by the 1962 election, Duplessis had died and his Union Nationale party was out of office and in disarray, and Diefenbaker's support in Quebec had evaporated. The Mulroney-era resurgence also collapsed entirely when he retired from politics.

The Bloc Québécois was formed for the 1993 election in the aftermath of the failure of the Meech Lake Accord and Charlottetown Accord, and has won more seats in Quebec than the Liberals in every election it has run in. The number of seats won by the Bloc has declined in each successive election from 1993 to 1997 to 2000. The party has now had a resurgence due to the sponsorship scandal and the unpopularity of Jean Charest's provincial Liberal government, which influences support for the federal Liberals even though the two parties are independent of one another.

Polls show the Bloc with a strong lead, and they may return to the number of seats they had in 1993. However, the Liberals are likely to dominate in many parts of Montreal. Ridings where Anglophone voters are a significant factor are among the safest Liberal seats in all of Canada.

The other two major federal parties, the Conservatives and the New Democratic Party (NDP) are not expected to win any seats and are struggling to move out of single digits in the polls. The NDP in particular has historically never had any electoral success in Quebec up to that point.

Ontario

Ontario was predicted to be the battle ground of this election. Most pundits believed that this is where the election was lost for the Conservatives. Ontario is home to more than one third of all of Canada's ridings. In the last three elections, right wing vote splitting has resulted in just six riding losses for the Liberals, compared to 299 riding wins. However, the Canadian Alliance and the Progressive Conservatives have merged, and they should win many seats in Ontario, especially in rural ridings in midwestern Ontario, Central-eastern Ontario, and Central Ontario. The NDP has some support in various pockets in Ontario in the past, but has only won one riding in the last three elections, and one more in a by-election, both in Windsor. However, the NDP was expected to do well not only in Windsor, but in Hamilton, Downtown Toronto, Ottawa Centre, and possibly even in Northern Ontario.

Southern Durham and York

Profile & Notes Electoral History
This sprawling and rapidly growing suburban area to the north and east of the City of Toronto encompasses the eastern portion of what Canadian political watchers in the early nineties dubbed the "905 belt"—a swath of middle class suburban voters roughly corresponding to the same boundaries of the 905 Area Code that can be readily tipped from the Liberal to the Conservative column. 905's buy-in on the provincial level to Mike Harris's Common Sense Revolution secured him two conservative majority governments, while its rejection of the Tories in 2002 paved the way for Dalton McGuinty's landslide. 905 solidly supported the Chrétien Liberals, but Conservatives hope that the absence of vote-splitting and rising national fortunes can lead to substantial pickups on election night.

1 - Grose lost nomination

Central Toronto

Profile & Notes Electoral History
Since 1993, Central Toronto has been a bastion of Liberal support. It is far more competitive in the 2004 election, however, largely because new NDP leader Jack Layton is a former Toronto city councillor who has reoriented the NDP towards drawing support in the urban centres. Most of the ridings are remain safe Liberal seats, with only four or five seats vulnerable to the New Democrats and Conservatives.

Brampton, Mississauga and Oakville

Profile & Notes Electoral History
This area is part of the rapidly growing 905 belt, where the Conservatives are hoping for a breakthrough, as it is a traditionally Conservative area. Until their collapse in 1993, the Conservatives only lost two ridings in this area between 1979 and 1988. In the riding of Brampton-Springdale, the Liberal riding association is campaigning for the NDP, to protest Paul Martin's appointment of candidate Ruby Dhalla. The original candidate was known to be a supporter of John Manley in last year's Liberal leadership race. Running against incumbent Colleen Beaumier in Brampton West is former Ontario cabinet minister and federal Conservative leadership candidate Tony Clement.

Notes:
1 - Hundal replaced previous Conservative candidate Gurjit Grewal after a past conviction for assault came to light.
2 - Assadourian not seeking re-election.
3 - Mahoney lost nomination.

Hamilton, Burlington and Niagara

Profile & Notes Electoral History
This region has been traditionally Conservative, however the Liberal Party swept the region, along with most of the rest in Ontario, in the last three elections. However, most Liberal victories outside Hamilton proper can be attributed to vote-splitting between the two right-wing parties. Now that they have merged, the Conservatives are targeting several ridings in the area in this election. In Hamilton, the New Democrats is looking for major gains as well. They held the seat of Hamilton Mountain twice. Traditionally, Liberal support has been concentrated in Niagara Falls, Welland and in Hamilton. The Liberal membership in at least one Hamilton riding is heavily divided, with disgruntled former MP Sheila Copps rumoured to be running for the NDP or as an independent before she announced she was quitting politics.

Notes:
1 - Bryden defected from Liberals in Feb. '04; lost Conservative nomination.
2 - Reed not seeking re-election.
3 - Copps lost nomination.
4 - Pillitteri not seeking re-election.
5 - Tirabassi lost nomination.

Midwestern Ontario

Profile & Notes Electoral History

This area is traditionally conservative, except for the riding of Brant which has not voted Conservative since 1958. Brant is where the NDP did will with popular MP Derek Blackburn from 1971 to 1993. However, the NDP have been unable to duplicate this success in this area, and are unlikely to do so. The Conservatives won every other seat except for three seats in 1979, 1980, 1984, and 1988 sweeping the area (except for Brant) in 1984 and 1979. The three seats that went Liberal were Guelph and Kitchener (1980) and Haldimand-Norfolk (1988). Since the collapse of the Conservatives, and vote splitting the Liberals swept this area in 1993, 1997 and 2000. However, with a united right, this is unlikely to be duplicated a fourth time.

Southwestern Ontario

Profile & Notes Electoral History

Southwestern Ontario is traditionally a very Liberal region of Ontario, but is divided between urban and rural. The Liberals do well in the cities of Windsor and London, and Conservatives do well in the rural areas of Kent County, Essex County, Lambton County, Elgin County, and Middlesex County. The NDP also has done well in the past, and currently in Windsor and London, where unions are strong. The NDP was elected in both Windsor-Walkerville and London-Fanshawe in 1984 and 1988, and hold both Windsor seats currently. The Liberas swept all but the riding of Elgin in 1980, the Conservatives swept all but the two Windsor ridings in 1984, and one London riding. The Liberals swept every single riding here in 1993 and 1997, and all but the riding of Windsor-St. Clair in 2000.

Northern Ontario

Profile & Notes Electoral History

Northern Ontario is traditionally a very Liberal area in Ontario, but with historically strong showings by the NDP. The Conservatives have only won a combined total of 9 seats in Northern Ontario since 1979, 4 of which in the very Conservative Parry Sound Muskoka. The NDP has consistently done well here, finishing either first or second, even if it means not winning seats. They are especially strong in Thunder Bay-Atikokan, Nickel Belt, and Sault Ste. Marie, but have also won seats in Kenora-Rainy River, Thunder Bay-Nipigon, and Timmins Chapleau. The only bad showing by the Liberals since 1979 came in 1984, where they still managed 3 of 12 seats winning in Algoma, Sudbury, and Cochrane despite a national Conservative landslide.

Manitoba

Manitoba is traditionally split between the NDP, the Liberals, and the Conservatives. This is especially true in the city of Winnipeg where most Manitobans live. However, due to vote splitting in recent elections, neither the Progressive Conservatives or the Canadian Alliance/Reform Party have been able to win in Winnipeg. In rural Manitoba, the Liberals are usually shut out of elections (exception in 1993). Conservative support is normally in the more populous south, with NDP support in the sparsely populated north, which usually only means one seat.

Rural Manitoba

Profile & Notes Electoral History

Rural Manitoba is traditionally very Conservative, sith some NDP leanings. Vote splitting only effected this area in 1993, when the Liberals nearly swept the region, winning all but one seat. In 1997 they could keep one. The Progressive Conservatives did their best here, out of all of western Canada, winning the riding of Brandon-Souris in both 1997 and 2000. The NDP's strength lies in the riding of Churchill, in northern Manitoba where they have consistently won in.

Winnipeg

Profile & Notes Electoral History

Winnipeg has traditionally been a three-way race between the NDP, the Conservatives and the Liberals. That ended in 1993, and since then nor the Progressive Conservatives or the Alliance/Reform Party have been able to win a seat here. Now that they are merged, their prospects look good to return Winnipeg once again into a three way race.

Saskatchewan

In terms of party lines, Saskatchewan is not divided up between north and south but by urban and rural. Traditionally, Saskatchewan has been a two-way race between the Conservatives, and later the Reform/Alliance and the NDP. Recent vote splitting has allowed the Liberals to come through and win a few seats in this polarized province. Urban Saskatchewan has tended to vote NDP and rural Saskatchewan has tended to vote Conservative. This is especially true in provincial politics, where riding boundaries more reflect the urban/rural divide. Both Saskatoon and Regina, Saskatchewans largest cities are split into 4 ridings each. All eight of these ridings are generally split evenly between rural and urban. Northern Saskatchewan has in the past been the stand alone region of rural Saskatchewan, usually voting for the NDP.

Southern Saskatchewan

Profile & Notes Electoral History

Southern Saskatchewan is traditionally split between the NDP and the Conservatives. In 1993, the Reform Party came along, and stole most Conservative votes, but also made room for the Liberals to win seats here, and make the area a 3 way race.

1 - Spencer is former CA

Northern Saskatchewan

Profile & Notes Electoral History

Northern Saskatchewan has also been a traditional two-way race between the NDP and the Conservatives. The NDP with their strongest support in the riding of Churchill River. However, the most recent 2000 election saw this riding pass to the Liberals. More recent elections have seen the Reform/Canadian Alliance do extremely well here, and are expected to do just as well, or even better as the new Conservative Party.

Notes:
1 - Laliberte did not seek Liberal nomination
2 - Pankiw is former CA
3 - Chris Axworthy is a former New Democrats MP and provincial cabinet minister

Alberta

Alberta is unarguably the most Conservative province in Canada. You need only look at the results of the ridings here in the last century to prove this. Alberta has long been a Progressive Conservative province, but with the collapse of the party in 1993, Albertans went to the Reform Party of Canada (later the Canadian Alliance) for their vote. Edmonton seems to be the only exception to this. The Liberals have won in Edmonton six times since 1993, and the NDP has won in Edmonton as well.

Rural Alberta

Profile & Notes Electoral History
This region is unarguably the most Conservative region in Canada. One may only have to look at the election results from the last 70 years to prove it. The Progressive Conservative Party of Canada did not lose a single seat in rural Alberta from 1972 until the party's collapse of 1993. Instead a new right wing party, the Reform Party of Canada took over and swept rural Alberta in the next two elections. They did the same under the Canadian Alliance banner in 2000. It is unlikely any other party will win here in 2004.

Edmonton and environs

Profile & Notes Electoral History

Edmonton is the most left wing area of Alberta, but this doesn't say much. Much like the rest of Alberta, Edmonton usually always votes for the leading right wing party of the day. This is the one area of Alberta where the Liberals have been able to win anything in recent years, winning two seats in both 1997 and 2000, and four seats in 1993. The NDP have also won a seat in Edmonton, doing so in 1988. The two Liberal incumbents are both in close races, and the new Conservative Party of Canada could possibly sweep Edmonton, and therefore all of Alberta.

Calgary

Profile & Notes Electoral History

Calgary, the largest city in Alberta is just as Conservative as rural Alberta. The Progressive Conservatives swept Calgary until 1993, then it was the Reform Party in 1993 and 1997, then the Canadian Alliance in 2000. The one abnormal seat was when Progressive Conservative Party leader Joe Clark won the riding of Calgary Centre in 2000. It is expected the Conservatives will once again sweep Calgary in 2004.

British Columbia

British Columbia is what many pundits consider to be the complete opposite of a bellwether region. British Columbia has a history of voting against the government. This has meant the NDP in the 1980s and the Reform/Canadian Alliance in the 1990s. More recently, regional trends have started to appear in B.C. The interior votes very Conservative, as the Canadian Alliance swept this area in 2000. B.C. has in the past been a province that would swing from one extreme to the other going for the right wing Social Credit to the left wing NDP in the past, in not only federal elections but provincial elections. The NDP also does well in British Columbia, or at least has in the past. Recently, they have been reduced to seats in the Vancouver area. There is hope that they will return to more traditional NDP seats on Vancouver Island, and in the interior. The Liberals have also won a few seats in B.C. recently, an area they have traditionally done very poor. Their strengths are in Victoria and in Vancouver.
