Medicine HatâÂÂCardstonâÂÂWarner (formerly Medicine Hat) is a federal electoral district in southern Alberta, Canada, that has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada since 1908.
Following the 2012 federal electoral redistribution, the riding was renamed Medicine HatâÂÂCardstonâÂÂWarner.
In 2016, 34.9% of the population of the Medicine Hat constituency were of German ethnic origin, one of the highest percentages in all of Canada.
In the 42nd Canadian Parliament, the seat was represented by Jim Hillyer of the Conservative Party of Canada until his death on 23 March 2016. In the first by-election in the history of the Medicine Hat constituency held on 24 October 2016, Glen Motz of the Conservatives was elected. Motz has been the riding's representative to Ottawa since then.
The constituency covers the City of Medicine Hat and surrounding areas in the southeast corner and southern U.S. border region of Alberta, including Cypress County, the County of Forty Mile No. 8, Warner No. 5 and the Town of Warner, and Cardston County and the Town of Cardston.
Languages: 86.4% English, 7.4% German, 1.2% French, ~1.1% Blackfoot (Blackfoot/Kainai counted as "Other language" on the Census; this number derived from "other language" speakers on Blackfoot/Kainai First Nations)<br /> Religions: 72.0% Christian (21.4% Catholic, 9.6% United Church, 6.1% Lutheran, 3.6% Anglican, 2.2% Pentecostal, 1.5% Baptist, 27.6% Other Christian), 1.2% Traditional Indigenous Spirituality, 25.6% None.<br /> Median income: $29,534 (2010) Average income: $39,940 (2010)
Soon after the province of Alberta was established in 1905, this electoral district was created in 1907. It conformed to parts of the new provincial boundaries â combining the old Alberta riding (covering a southern portion of the old Alberta provisional district) with part of the old Assiniboia West riding.
During the 2012 electoral redistribution, "Medicine Hat" was largely succeeded by "Medicine HatâÂÂCardstonâÂÂWarner", losing territory to Bow River and Battle RiverâÂÂCrowfoot, and gaining territory from Lethbridge and Macleod.
Note: Change based on redistributed results.
