Riding Profile:
This Simcoe-area riding has the fourth highest population in Ontario,
most of which is localized in the city of Barrie.
Barrie-Simcoe-Bradford is situated on the western shore of Lake
Simcoe and the Holland River, and includes the towns of Bradford, West
Gwillimbury and Innisfil.
Tourism and manufacturing are the primary sources of employment in
this popular summer resort area.
The former federal riding of Simcoe Centre has the noteriety of being
the only seat won by the Reform Party during the 1993 election.
Political History:
From 1943 through 1987 Simcoe Centre was a Tory stronghold, electing
four consecutive PC candidates to the riding. Liberal Bruce Owen defeated
PC Earl Rowe in 1987 ending more than 40 years of Tory dominance.
Owen was defeated in 1990 by NDP candidate Paul Wessenger. Then in
1995, PC Joe Tascona defeated Owen by a sound 17,729 votes, returning
the riding to its PC roots.
