For local government, Limoges falls under The Nation / La Nation, a municipality. Voters in The Nation / La Nation chose Francis Brière as mayor in October 2022, for a 7-seat council. Ontario’s councils were renewed on 26 October 2026, but the only open list so far is 2022’s, so that is the term shown. For the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, Limoges votes in Glengarry—Prescott—Russell; open data doesn’t yet say who its MPP (Member of Provincial Parliament, at Queen’s Park in Toronto) is. The Liberal Party of Canada has 71 of the 122 MPs elected in Ontario.
