The eastern Ontario riding of Lanark-Frontenac is projected to stick with Conservative MP Scott Reid, whom voters have chosen in every federal election since 2010.

Reid previously advised Reform Party leader Preston Manning and taught history at a university in Australia. He's also on the board of Giant Tiger, which his father founded.

Lanark-Frontenac, which used to be Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston, stretches from Ottawa city limits to Hastings County and includes communities like Carleton Place, Perth and Sharbot Lake.

Highway 7 runs roughly through the middle of it.

The regular independent boundary review that followed the 2021 census removed part of the City of Kingston that sat north of Highway 401, placing it instead within Kingston and the Islands

Four candidates ran this time. Liberal Michelle Foxton came in second.
