Davenport is a federal Electoral District in Ontario , Canada , that has been represented in the Canadian House Of Commons since 1935. Its population in 2001 was 111,705.


GEOGRAPHY

The district includes parts of west-end Toronto , and includes the neighbourhoods of Fairbank , Oakwood , St. Clair Gardens , Corso Italia , Dovercourt Village , Bloordale Village , Bloorcourt Village , Brockton Village , and the eastern part of The Junction and the western part of Rua Acores .


HISTORY

The federal electoral district was created in 1933 from parts of Parkdale and Toronto Northwest Ridings .



Federal riding

The federal riding of Davenport has been one of the most consistently Liberal ridings in Canada over the last century; in fact, the last non-Liberal to be elected for the constituency was Progressive Conservative Member Of Parliament Douglas Morton in 1958. Since then, Liberals Walter Gordon and Charles Caccia (who himself held the seat for nearly 40 years) managed to win the seat by increasing margins, finally culminating in a 17 500-vote majority in 1993. Meanwhile, the opposition parties in the constituency were shifting, and the NDP candidate has, despite never winning the seat, beaten the PC or Conservative candidate in every election since 1979.

After the election of Paul Martin to the Liberal Leadership, however, Mr. Caccia lost the nomination for the seat to local councillor Mario Silva , who had signed up sufficient new members to oust the incumbent; this was an unpopular situation and was deeply resented by many in the local Liberal party, which, combined with redistricting, led to an overnight tripling of the NDP vote total in the 2004 federal election. All the same, it is difficult to describe Davenport as "a marginal", as in all recent elections, the Liberal candidate has been elected with 50% of the vote or more regardless of what happens to the other parties.
