Well that's interesting!
Since its creation in 1917, the New Brunswick federal riding of Fundy—Royal has been solidly Conservative — except in 1993, when the Liberal Zed won it, and in 2015 when another Liberal, Alaina Lockhart, won it. Both times, the Conservatives were the defeated incumbent government that had become deeply unpopular.
