Geography
The district includes the Borough of Outremont, the eastern part of Côte-des-Neiges in the Borough of Côte-des-Neiges—Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, and the western part of the Mile End in Borough of Le Plateau-Mont-Royal, plus bits of upper downtown Montréal in the borough of Ville-Marie, La Petite-Patrie in the borough of Rosemont - La-Petite-Patrie, and Parc Extension in the borough of Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension.
Political geography
In the 2006 election, the Liberals had their strongest support in Côte-des-Neiges, on the eastern slopes of Mont-Royal and in the small part of the riding in the Parc-Extension neighbourhood. The Bloc had its support concentrated in the borough of Outremont, and around the Université de Montréal. The New Democratic Party (NDP) won all of its polls in Mile-End where it obtained most of its polls. The Conservatives won just three polls in the riding all of which were around the western border of the Outremont border.
In the 2007 by-election, the NDP almost swept the riding. Their strongest areas were in Mile-End, Jeanne-Mance, and around the Université de Montréal. It was not uncommon for the NDP win more than 70% of the vote in these polls. The Bloc Quebecois vote had collapsed, most of which went to the NDP. They did not win a single poll. Liberal support was relegated to the small part of Parc-Extension in the riding, the area around Rue Jean-Talon and the area on the opposite side of Mount Royal along Avenue des Pins. The Conservatives held on to one of their three polls.
In the 2008 election, the NDP held on to Outremont, albeit with a lower percentage of overall support.
History
The electoral district was created in 1933 from parts of Laurier—Outremont and Mount Royal ridings.
The riding was abolished in 1947 when it was merged into Outremont—Saint-Jean riding.
A new "Outremont" riding was created in 1966 from parts of Outremont—Saint-Jean, Cartier, Mount Royal, Papineau—Saint-Denis and Westmount—Ville-Marie ridings.
