==History== The electoral district was created in 1871, and was one of the four original ridings allocated to Manitoba when it joined the [[Canadian Confederation]] in 1870. It is notable for being the riding that elected [[Louis Riel]] to the House of Commons as an independent. Through its history the riding has alternated between representation by the [[Liberal Party of Canada|Liberals]] and [[Progressive Conservative Party of Canada|Progressive Conservatives]] (or [[Conservative Party of Canada]]). This riding lost territory to [[Selkirk—Interlake—Eastman]] and [[Portage—Lisgar]], and gained territory from [[Selkirk—Interlake]] during the [[Canadian federal electoral redistribution, 2012|2012 electoral redistribution]].
