Profile


In recent electoral history, the Liberals have been dominant after taking the riding from the NDP in 2015. Their strength comes particularly from Vaudreuil, Dorion and Ile Perrot. The Bloc has its best showings in the south of the constituency, in Les Cèdres, with pockets in Vaudreuil and Rigaud. The Conservatives have also historically done relatively well, with notable showings in 2006 and 2008 (when they came second to the Bloc).


Demographics


According to the 2016 Census, 58% had French as their mother tongue, 26% spoke English as their mother tongue, 2% combined the two and 14% spoke another language.[3]


History


The original Vaudreuil—Soulanges was created in 1914 when the ridings of Vaudreuil and Soulanges were combined into one riding. In keeping with the usual Canadian naming practices, the appellations 'Vaudreuil' and 'Soulanges' were linked by an em-dash as the two counties remained officially separate, and their combination was for electoral purposes only. It was abolished in 1966.

In 1997, the Vaudreuil riding was renamed "Vaudreuil-Soulanges", as it had been realigned to be perfectly coterminal to the Vaudreuil—Soulanges Regional County Municipality.

This riding lost territory to Salaberry—Suroît during the 2012 electoral redistribution and was renamed "Vaudreuil—Soulanges".
