Calgary Southwest
Template:Short description Template:Use Canadian English Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox Canada electoral district
Calgary Southwest was a federal electoral district in Alberta, Canada, that was represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 1988 to 2015. The district was in the southwest part of the city of Calgary, south of Glenmore Trail and west of the Canadian Pacific Kansas City Railway line.
Former Prime Minister Stephen Harper represented the riding during his leadership.
HistoryEdit
The electoral district was created in 1987 from parts of the Bow River, Calgary West, Calgary East, Calgary South, and a small piece of Calgary Centre ridings.
The riding was abolished during the Canadian federal electoral redistribution, 2012, 80% into Calgary Heritage and 20% into Calgary Midnapore.

Members of ParliamentEdit
All three of the riding's MPs were prominent: Bobbie Sparrow served in the cabinet led by Kim Campbell, while Preston Manning was the leader of the Reform Party of Canada from 1987 and Leader of the Opposition from 1997 to 2000. Its final MP in the Southwest configuration was Prime Minister Stephen Harper, an economist and a lecturer outside politics.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> He was elected to Calgary Southwest, shortly after becoming leader of the Canadian Alliance and thus leader of the Opposition, in a 2002 by-election occasioned by Manning's retirement. From 2003, Harper was the leader of the re-formed Conservative Party of Canada, and from 2006, prime minister; he ceased to be both after the 2015 Canadian federal election.
