St. John's East (French: St. John's-Est; formerly known as St. John's North) is a federal electoral district in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, that has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada since 1949.

It covers a part of St. John's. For a brief period in 2003 and 2004, it was known as "St. John's North".^[3]

In the 2019 federal election, former NDP MP Jack Harris defeated incumbent MP Nick Whalen in a rematch of the 2015 election. Harris retired in 2021, and Liberal Joanne Thompson won the seat.^[4]

Geography

The district includes the extreme northeastern part of the Avalon Peninsula including the northern half of the City of St. John's, and the eastern half of the Town of Conception Bay South. It also includes Bell Island, Little Bell Island and Kelly's Island.

The neighbouring ridings are Avalon and Cape Spear.

History

The riding was created when Newfoundland joined Confederation in 1949 and has historically been a conservative stronghold.^[7] St. John's East was won by Liberal Bonnie Hickey in 1993 election, who was defeated by Progressive Conservative Norman Doyle in the 1997 election. Doyle held the riding for the PCs and then the Conservatives, but stood down in 2008 and was replaced in a landslide by New Democrat, Jack Harris.^[8]^[9] Harris held the riding until his defeat in the 2015 election by Nick Whalen. That result was considered one of the biggest surprises of the 2015 election.^[10]

Following the 2012 electoral redistribution, 21% of the riding was moved into Avalon, and it gained 5% from St. John's South—Mount Pearl.

Following the 2022 electoral redistribution, the riding lost all of its territory in Paradise to Cape Spear, and gained the rest of St. John's Harbour, the Wishingwell Park area and the Ayre Athletic Field area from St. John's South—Mount Pearl.
