Riding Info
This ethnically diverse Toronto riding runs from Sunrise Avenue in the south to Finch Avenue, Highway 404 and the hydro transmission lines in the north, and between Leslie Street, the CN Rail line and the Don River in the west and Victoria Park Avenue in the east.
Don Valley East lost five per cent of its territory in the 2004 redistribution, with the southern boundary moving north to Sunrise Avenue. The riding was established in 1976 from parts of York-Scarborough and York North. In 1996, it was substantially changed in a merger with Don Valley North.
Population: 109,640 (2006 census; a decrease of 1.4% since 2001)
Political History
Liberal Yasmin Ratansi is serving her third term in the riding after winning over Conservative candidate Eugene McDermott in the 2008 election by 5,804 votes. In 2006, she defeated McDermott by more than 10,000 votes.
In 2004, Ratansi defeated Conservative David Johnson by more than 10,000 votes. Ratansi ran for the first time in 1988 and lost.
Liberal David Collenette held the riding from 1993 until his resignation in 2004. He was minister of transportation, minister of national defence and minister of veterans affairs in the Jean Chrétien cabinet. Collenette first won the riding in 1974, but was defeated in 1979 and won again in 1980. In 1984, he lost to Progressive Conservative Alan Redway.
Redway was minister of state for housing in Brian Mulroney's government. In 1988, he defeated Ratansi for the Liberals. Redway resigned in 1991 after being arrested for making a joke at an airport about a friend having a weapon.
