John Williamson (Conservative Party of Canada) represents St. George in Ottawa as MP for Saint John—St. Croix

From New Brunswick come 10 MPs, 6 of them with the Liberal Party of Canada. The Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick’s ridings aren’t published as open data we could find, so St. George isn’t placed in one. St. George is a town by Statistics Canada’s count of municipalities. Mayors and councillors in New Brunswick aren’t on any open list, so St. George’s council goes unnamed here.

How to read these numbers

What this data can and can’t tell you

  • Not on this page. Council budgets, band councils, and which party runs the council: the open lists carry no party, and most councils have none.
  • Election results. The 2019 and 2021 figures are Elections Canada’s official counts on the ridings drawn in 2013; the “today’s boundaries” figures are its transposition of the 2021 vote onto the 2023 ridings, an estimate built from polling divisions.
  • Which riding. A place belongs to the riding where most of its 2021 Census residents live, plus any other with 5% or more.
  • Who holds each seat. Wikidata, edited by volunteers, is the source for each MP, and it can trail a change of seat by a little.
