About the Riding
Scarborough—Agincourt is among the most immigrant-rich constituencies in Canada. The riding's commercial landscape is shaped by Asian shopping centres along Steeles Avenue and Kennedy Road, making it a major hub for Chinese and South Asian businesses in the Greater Toronto Area. The Sheppard Avenue corridor runs through the riding, and the extension of rapid transit along this route was a recurring local issue. Residents in the area relied heavily on TTC bus routes to reach the subway and commuter rail, and traffic congestion was a daily frustration. The riding had been a Liberal stronghold for most of its existence, with Karygiannis holding it from 1988 until his 2014 resignation.
