Here are the City-wide results...
And here are the riding-by-riding results. Remember, only Edmonton Centre, Strathcona, East, and St. Albert are nearly all urban ridings. Edmonton Leduc, Beaumont-Mill Woods, Sherwood Park, and Spruce Grove include large rural population and are "rurban ridings."
This is the first time since 1984 that the Progressive Conservative / Reform / Alliance / Conservative have elected MP's in every Edmonton ridings.
Non-Progressive Conservative / Reform / Alliance / Conservative Edmonton MP's since then have included:
- Ross Harvey, NDP MP Edmonton East (1988-1993)
- David Kilgour, Liberal MP Edmonton Southeast (1990-2004), Edmonton-Mill Woods-Beaumont (2004-05); Independent (2005-06)
- Judy Bethel, Liberal MP Edmonton East (1993-1997)
- John Loney, Liberal MP Edmonton North (1993-1997)
- Anne McLellan, Liberal MP Edmonton Northwest (1993-1997), Edmonton West (1997-2004), Edmonton Centre (2004-2006)
For what it's worth, I think "rurban ridings" suck hairy goat ass. The people out in the 'burbs/rural areas around Edmonton think, vote, and live differently than those in Edmonton. We should have separate represenatation, not ridings that slice out a bit of Edmonton and attach a bulky rural-suburban parasitic portion to it.
