In 2004, McKay beat Conservative Tom Varesh and New Democrat Sheila White. In 1993, the riding was won by Liberal Doug Peters, who was secretary of state for international financial institutions.
Scarborough East seesawed between Liberals and Conservatives in the 1970s and 1980s, electing Liberal Martin O'Connell in 1968, Tory Reg Stackhouse in 1972, and then O'Connell again in 1974. In 1979 and 1980, the MP was PC Gordon Gilchrist, who had to resign in 1984 after being found guilty of tax evasion. PC Bob Hicks won in 1984 and 1988.
