Saint Boniface—Saint Vital ((フランス語:Saint-Boniface—Saint-Vital); formerly Saint Boniface) is a federal electoral district in Winnipeg, Manitoba that has been represented in the Canadian House of Commons since 1925. The district covers roughly the southern portion of the city of Winnipeg, east of the Red River. In particular, it contains the Franco-Manitobain community of Saint Boniface and roughly the northern two-thirds of the community of St. Vital. The riding (as federal electoral districts are called in Canada) has a sizeable French population (16% according to the last census) and was a Liberal Party stronghold for most of its history. However, Conservative Shelly Glover, a Winnipeg police sergeant, won it in 2008 and three years later became the first centre-right MP in the riding's history to be re-elected. It is the only riding in Western Canada that regularly elects francophone candidates to parliament. ==History== In 1996, its English name was changed from "St. Boniface" to "Saint Boniface". In 2008, Conservative candidate and Winnipeg police officer Shelly Glover, defeated Liberal candidate Winnipeg management consultant Raymond Simard, who had held the seat since a 2002 by-election. Saint Boniface was largely superseded by "Saint Boniface—Saint Vital", losing territory to Winnipeg South and Elmwood—Transcona, and gaining territory from Winnipeg South during the 2012 electoral redistribution. 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「Saint Boniface—Saint Vital」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
