Canadian federal election results in Northern Montreal

The North End of Montreal has significant immigrant populations and generally supports the Liberals, although the BQ captured Ahuntsic and Bourassa in their 1993 near-sweep of the province, and took Ahuntsic and Papineau in 2006 as the Bloc gained support among immigrant groups.

The Bloc hoped to gain additional support here to counter any losses in rural Quebec to the Conservatives, who are very weak here.

In the event, however, the region was affected by the NDP "orange wave" that swept through Quebec in 2011.

For the first time since its creation the Bloc arrives third in a riding of the region, whereas the Conservatives score a second place, albeit well behind the Liberals (Saint-Léonard—Saint-Michel).

This time the Conservatives records a significant uptick in votes, overtaking the NDP as the main third party in the region.
