What made this riding one of the most closely watched in the city is the fact that boundaries changed this year, and if the riding looked today like it did in 2011 the Liberals would have secured the seat with 38.4 per cent of the vote over the Conservatives 36.4 per cent.

Part of the riding has now moved into Don Valley North for this election, but picks up part of what used to be Don Valley West.

The riding was a Liberal stronghold from 1997 until the Conservatives won in 2011.
