Riding Profile:
This riding is located on south shore of Georgian Bay and includes Wasaga
Beach, Thornbury, Collingwood, Flesherton, Markdale and Creemore.
This popular summer resort destination depends on tourism and manufacturing
as primary sources of employment.
In the 1999 redistribution, the new riding Simcoe-Grey combined small
parts of Grey-Owen Sound, Simcoe Centre and Simcoe East with almost
all of Simcoe West.
Political History:
In 1987, the Conservative stronghold of Simcoe West saw Tory George
McCague defeat Liberal Gary Johnson by a slim 306 votes. Current incumbent
Jim Wilson won the seat for the Tories in 1990, 1995 and 1999.
In the riding of Dufferin-Simcoe, the only Liberal ever elected was
Wilfrid Davy Smith in 1934. He was defeated in 1937 by Tory A.W. Downer,
who went on to win the next 10 elections. Downer was followed by Tory
candidate George McCague, who won in 1975, 1977, 1981 and 1985.
