Riding Profile:
The fast-growing riding east of Toronto boasts a healthy industry sector,
including automotive, aircraft, steel and pharmaceutical plants.
The riding runs from the northern limit of Uxbridge Township in the
north to Lake Ontario in the south, and includes the town of Pickering
and part of Ajax.
As a result of the 1999 redistribution, the new riding of Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge
combined 18 per cent of Durham-York with 70 per cent of Durham West.
Political History:
In the riding of Durham-West, NDP candidate Charles Godfrey defeated
Liberal Des Newman in 1975. Two years later, Godfrey lost to Tory candidate
George Ashe by a margin of just 593 votes.
Ashe was re-elected in 1981 and 1985, followed by Liberal Norah Stoner
in 1987 and NDP candidate Jim Wiseman in 1990. Wiseman was toppled by
Tory Janet Ecker, the current incumbent and Minister of Finance, in
1995.
