La Prairie (previously known as Laprairie) is a federal electoral district in Quebec, Canada, that was represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1867 to 1896, 1968 to 1997, and again with the calling of the 2015 election. The riding of "Laprairie" was created by the British North America Act of 1867. It consisted of the Parishes of Laprairie, Saint-Philippe, Saint Jacques le Mineur, Saint Isidore and Saint Constant, the Indian Lands of Sault Saint Louis, and all islands in the River Saint Lawrence close to the county. It was abolished in 1892 when it was redistributed into the Châteauguay and Laprairie—Napierville electoral districts. The riding was re-created in 1966 from Beauharnois—Salaberry and Châteauguay—Huntingdon—Laprairie ridings. It consisted of: * the City of Saint-Lambert; * the Towns of Brossard, Candiac, Châteauguay, Châteauguay-Centre, Châteauguay Heights, Delson, Greenfield Park, La Prairie, LeMoyne, Léry and Préville; and * in the County of Laprairie: the parish municipalities of Saint-Constant and Sainte-Catherine-d'Alexandrie-de-Laprairie; and the Indian Reserve of Caughnawaga No. 14. In 1976, it was redefined to consist of: * the City of Saint-Lambert; * the Towns of Brossard, Candiac, Greenfield Park, La Prairie and LeMoyne; and * in the county of Laprairie: the municipality of Notre-Dame. In 1980, it was renamed "La Prairie". In 1987, it was redefined to consist of the towns of Brossard, Candiac, La Prairie et Saint-Lambert. The riding was abolished in 1996 when it was abolished into Brossard—La Prairie and Saint-Lambert. This riding was re-created during the 2012 electoral redistribution from parts of Châteauguay—Saint-Constant and Brossard—La Prairie. ==Profile== The 2011 results, put onto the new boundaries for the La Prairie riding, showed strong support for the NDP. This support mainly came from the west of the riding, in cities formerly included in the old Châteauguay—Saint-Constant riding. They had lower support in La Prairie and Saint-Philippe, where the Liberals performed better. Conservative support was relatively uniform across the riding, while also being pretty weak. The Bloc Québécois, which would have come second in the riding, had its stronger support in the old riding of Châteauguay—Saint-Constant, but had some pockets within La Prairie. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「La Prairie (electoral district)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
