'This re-election means that we can continue to build, and I know that there’s so much more that needs to be done.'
In the 2025 Ontario election, Liberal candidate Lucille Collard won the Ottawa-Vanier riding, securing her second term. The riding has been a Liberal stronghold since 1971, marking 54 years of continuous Liberal representation. Collard emphasized her priorities of health care, housing, and education, stating her re-election allows her to continue building and addressing these issues. Her campaign saw a 10% increase in the margin of victory compared to the previous election. NDP candidate Myriam Djilane acknowledged the result but highlighted the importance of holding Collard accountable. The riding, covering a diverse area including the University of Ottawa and ByWard Market, has remained a Liberal stronghold despite the NDP's efforts.
