Riding Info
This is a suburban riding on the shore of Rivière-des-Milles-Îles across from Laval. The riding contains parts of the regional county municipalities of Thérèse-de Blainville and Les Moulins. The cities of Blainville and Ste-Anne-des-Plaines and the former city of Terrebonne fall in the riding. Many residents work outside the riding in Montreal.
The riding of Terrebonne-Blainville was created in the 1996 redistribution from 30 per cent of Terrebonne, 29 per cent of Blainville-Deux-Montagnes and nine per cent of Joliette. In 2004, 75 per cent of the riding was retained.
Population: 107,694 (2006 census; an increase of 16.9% since 2001)
Political History
The Bloc Québécois kept a strong hold on the riding in 2008 as Diane Bourgeois defeated Liberal Eva Nassif to win her fourth term.
In the 2006 race, Bourgeois handily beat Conservative candidate Daniel Lebel, receiving 59 per cent of the vote.
In the 2004 race, Bourgeois beat Liberal Pierre Gingras with 68 per cent of the vote. The BQ's Paul Mercier won in 1993 in Blainville-Deux Montagnes and in 1997 in Terrebonne-Blainville.
In Terrebonne, Liberal Joseph Roland Comtois was MP from 1968-1976, when he resigned to run in the Quebec election and lost. He came back and won the 1977 byelection and a further two terms in 1979 and 1980. In 1984, Progressive Conservative Robert Toupin defeated him. In 1986, Toupin left the PC caucus to sit as an Independent, briefly joined the New Democratic Party of Canada, then sat again as an Independent in 1987. In 1988, PC Jean-March Robitaille was elected, followed by the BQ's Benoît Sauvageau in 1993. In Blainville-Deux Montagnes, Liberal Francis Fox, formerly MP in Argenteuil-Deux Montagnes, won in 1979 and 1980. In 1984, PC Monique Landry defeated Fox. She was appointed minister for external relations and international development in 1986, re-elected in 1988, appointed minister of state for Indian and northern affairs in 1991 and secretary of state and minister communications in 1993.
