Federal electoral district in Quebec, Canada
Papineau (formerly Papineau—Saint-Denis and Papineau—Saint-Michel ) is a federal electoral district in Montreal , Quebec , Canada, that has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada since 1948. Its population in 2016 was 110,750. Justin Trudeau , the Prime Minister of Canada and Leader of the Liberal Party , has represented the riding since the 2008 federal election . Trudeau became Liberal leader in a 2013 leadership election , succeeding Bob Rae , and prime minister when the Liberals returned to government in the 2015 Canadian federal election , succeeding Conservative leader Stephen Harper .
The name of the riding comes from a street in the Villeray neighbourhood, named after Joseph Papineau .
At nine square kilometres, it covers the second smallest area of any federal riding in Canada after Toronto Centre .[ 3] [ 4]
The district includes the neighbourhoods of Villeray and Park Extension , as well as the southern part of the old city of Saint-Michel in the Borough of Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension .
The southeast corner of the riding borders the Outremont riding, which was most recently held by Tom Mulcair , the former leader of the New Democratic Party.
Political geography [ edit ] Papineau, despite its small size, is a very divided riding. The riding spans the former linguistic divide of the city, Saint Laurent Boulevard . South of the riding is the neighbourhood of Park Extension, which is very Liberal . The central part of the riding, around Villeray, was Bloc Québécois territory for almost two decades before swinging heavily to the NDP in the 2011 federal election. Meanwhile, François-Perreault district, in the south of Saint-Michel, is considered swing territory between the Liberals and the NDP. The district of Saint-Michel, which is part of neighbouring Saint-Léonard—Saint-Michel riding to the northeast of Papineau, leans to the Liberals.[citation needed
Except for the years 2006 to 2008, when it was held by Vivian Barbot of the Bloc, the seat has been in Liberal hands since 1953.
