Toronto-St. Paul’s isn’t really “one of the safest Liberal ridings in the country.” Safe it certainly is, having voted Liberal in every election since 1993. But 19 other ridings are as safe or safer by that measure.
Vancouver Quadra has been electing Liberals since 1984. The Toronto riding of Humber River-Black Creek, the former York West, last elected a candidate from another party in 1958. Mount Royal, on the Island of Montreal, has been solidly Liberal since 1940. Ottawa Vanier has been a Liberal riding since its creation, in 1935; in its former incarnation as Russell, since 1887.
