Profile
The NDP did well across the riding in the 2011 election, with relatively uniform support across the district. The Bloc did well in French-dominated areas such as Rigaud near the Ontario border as well as in Vaudreuil-Dorion and the south of the riding in Les Cèdres. Hudson and Saint-Lazare were stronger areas for the Tories, being areas with higher Anglophone populations. In certain parts of Hudson, the Liberals did somewhat well, though their support across the riding was low.
History
The original Vaudreuil—Soulanges was created in 1914 when the ridings of Vaudreuil and Soulanges were combined into one riding. In keeping with the usual Canadian naming practices, the appellations 'Vaudreuil' and 'Soulanges' were linked by an em-dash as the two counties remained officially separate, and their combination was for electoral purposes only. It was abolished in 1966.
In 1997, the Vaudreuil riding was renamed "Vaudreuil-Soulanges", as it had been realigned to be perfectly coterminal to the Vaudreuil—Soulanges Regional County Municipality.
This riding lost territory to Salaberry—Suroît during the 2012 electoral redistribution and was renamed "Vaudreuil—Soulanges".
