Political geography
Until 2011, this working class riding strongly favoured the Bloc, which in 2008, won most polls. Their strongest support was east of Sherbrooke Street. The Liberals won a handful of polls in the northwest corner of the riding near Saint Leonard.
The New Democrats placed second in the 2009 by-election; as in much of Quebec, Bloc support collapsed in the 2011 election and the New Democrats swept the riding.

History
The electoral district of Hochelaga was created in 1867 covering the entire eastern part of the Island of Montreal. In 1976, it was renamed "Sainte-Marie". In 1981, it was renamed "Montreal—Sainte-Marie".
The riding was abolished in 1987 when it was redistributed into Laurier—Sainte-Marie and Rosemont ridings.
"Hochelaga" riding was recreated in 2003 from parts of Hochelaga—Maisonneuve and Laurier—Sainte-Marie ridings.
