Social Credit held this riding from its creation in 1971 to 1975, since then its been Progressive Conservative. The biggest victories came in the 70's and 80's, recently however as the demographics have become more diverse the popularity of the P.C.'s has started to slip, the past few elections have seen some close and bitter races.
