The riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP) covering Stonegate-Queensway is Etobicoke—Lakeshore, and James Maloney (Liberal Party of Canada) represents it in the House of Commons. Provincially, Stonegate-Queensway votes in Etobicoke—Lakeshore; the open record doesn’t name its MPP (Member of Provincial Parliament, at Queen’s Park in Toronto) in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, so the legislature’s own list is linked below. As a neighbourhood of Toronto, Stonegate-Queensway shares the council elected in October 2022, with John Tory as mayor. Ontario held new municipal elections on 26 October 2026; until the province publishes them, the open record stops at the council elected in 2022.

- Election results. Where the page says “today’s boundaries”, it means Elections Canada’s estimate of the 2021 vote on the 2023 ridings; every other count is official and on the 2013 map.
- Which riding. Ridings are assigned from the 2021 Census: the one with most residents first, then any holding 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.
- Not on this page. No party tally for the council, which the open lists don’t record, and no band councils.
- Council money. The 2024 Financial Information Return, totals after adjustments by service, per resident with the return’s own population. A lower tier’s figures leave out its county’s or region’s spending, so lower tiers are compared only with lower tiers.
- Council size. The 2021 Census population is shared over all council seats, including the head of council’s, for this ratio.
