Harper loses his best hope for a Conservative MP from Montreal

In the election of 2011 the Conservatives did terribly in the 22 ridings of Montreal and Laval.

In the predominantly francophone east and north of Montreal, and in Laval, they generally finished in fourth place, behind the NDP, Liberals and Bloc.

In the central and western Montreal ridings, where there is a large population of non-francophones, Harper's Conservatives did a bit better.

They managed mostly third place finishes, ahead of the Bloc Québecois.
