Regional profile
The region is the central section of Southern Ontario, mainly comprising the rural area around Lake Simcoe. Being a traditionally conservative region, the area contrasts the staunchly liberal Greater Toronto Area to the south.
The citizens of the region are mostly white, Protestant, and agrarian, with a large number of social conservatives. This populace gave root to the Reform Party and Canadian Alliance in Ontario, with Simcoe Centre electing a Reform MP in 1993. Though the Liberals swept the region during the Chrétien era, largely due to Reform-PC vote-splitting, the Unite the Right movement (accompanied by Chrétien's departure from office) led to a majority of Liberal MPs losing their seats beginning in 2004.
The riding's only Liberal, Belinda Stronach, was a former Conservative who crossed the floor in 2004, but has since been re-elected as a Liberal. The electoral district of Peterborough has long been recognized by political scientists as one of the best bellwether ridings in the country.
