Riding profile: Flamborough-Glanbrook candidates tell you why they're qualified
CBC
The Flamborough-Glanbrook riding is the most expansive in Hamilton. It's also the youngest and the fastest growing.
As of 2016, 111,065 people lived in the riding, which starts south of Milton and winds around urban Hamilton in a horseshoe that ends at the Niagara Escarpment to cover 886.16 kilometres.
Statistics Canada data shows the population increased 14.4 per cent between 2016 and 2011, likely spurred by fast-growing development around Binbrook and Stoney Creek Mountain.
The average age is 39.4, lower than the other four Hamilton ridings. The average household income in 2015 was $118,242, census data shows. The average one-person household earned $55,903.
The riding is Conservative provincially, and has been so federally since its creation, although the Liberals came within 2,000 votes of winning it in 2019.
David Sweet, Conservative MP since 2006, isn't running again. His former employee, Dan Muys, is running for the party.
Muys said during a Cable 14 riding debate last week that Sweet is his friend, but he left his position in Sweet's office after Sweet spoke out against COVID-19 lockdowns.
