Was your MP born in your riding?

Dozens of parliamentarians weren’t born in the ridings they represent. There’s nothing wrong with that, of course, but we thought it was worth taking a look at which MPs represent their first place of residence.

MPs are coded as follows: Blue if they were born in the riding they represent, Light Blue if they were born in an adjacent riding, and Red if they were born further afield. Click on a riding, and the info bubbles that pop up tell you where the MP was born, when they were born, and their various jobs before they took office. Zoom in for a closer look at cities where more than one MP was born.
