This seat combines heavily NDP and Chinese-Canadian parts of North Burnaby with more Liberal and Conservative leaning parts of North Vancouver. The Liberals won it in 2015 with Terry Beech and the NDP nearly snatched it back in 2019 but missing by less than 3.5%. The NDP are running Jim Hanson, a city councillor from the North Vancouver side, where they are weaker, in a strategic move to grow their vote. He’s a good candidate, but will it work?
