ETOBICOKELAKESHORE

Ben Cohen

James Maloney has won the riding of Etobicoke–Lakeshore for the Liberals.

He has represented the riding in the House of Commons since 2015.

Maloney earned law degrees from the University of Windsor and the University of Wales, and worked as a litigation lawyer. In 2014, he served as interim city councillor for Ward 5 (Etobicoke-Lakeshore) before going into federal politics.

He successfully fended off challenges from Conservative candidate Indira Bains, a project manager; NDP candidate Sasha Kane, a community advocate; and Green party candidate Afam Elue, a consultant at a private equity holding company.

Maloney is chair of the House of Commons standing committee on natural resources. In May, he was quoted as saying climate change is a crisis “of the same proportion” as COVID-19.

Etobicoke-Lakeshore has been a largely Liberal riding since its creation in 1968, save for one NDP and three Conservative terms.
