Charlottetown (Prince Edward Island) 64/338

 Charlottetown (Prince Edward Island)

Today we're in the capital of Prince Edward Island, Charlottetown!

Charlottetown has existed as a riding since 2004, created from Hillsborough and a small part of Malpeque. The population of the riding was 36,094 in 2016. This riding is the only PEI riding not named for a body of water, even the previous riding name was named for Hillsborough River which runs by Charlottetown. 

Politically, this riding is pretty safe for the Liberals. It has been held by the Liberals since 1988 and has only been close once since then, 2011 when the Conservatives finished 1200 votes behind. Interestingly enough, the second place party has changed in the past three elections, Conservatives in 2011, NDP in 2015, and Greens in 2019. The riding is currently held by Liberal MP Sean Casey.

Provincially, the riding is represented by one Liberal, two Progressive Conservatives, and three Greens. This seat had one of the closest results between the Greens and the Liberals, if just 78 more people voted Liberal in Charlottetown-Brighton, there would've been a dispute between the parties on who would become the official opposition and we wouldn't have had the first Green opposition in Canada. In 2019, this seat was 4/4 in PEI and 201/338 in Canada by margin.

Rating:

Name: 10/10 - Perfect. 

Shape: 7.2/10 - It is okay, I don't know the city limits or what they should be, but it isn't awful.

Individuality: 6.4/10 - The Green wave coming here too is cool, not really too different otherwise.

Total: 23.6/30 (78.7%)

See you in either 4 days or 40, we'll see!
