    This is Vancouver's bellwether riding and, along with Vancouver-Fairview, the most likely to change hands in this election. Its voting patterns reflect its location at the nexus of red and orange support, leaning a bit more toward West Side Vancouver/Richmond Liberal characteristics than East Side Vancouver/Burnaby NDP. Federally, this once Liberal riding has shifted to the Conservatives, following the pattern seen in Richmond. The NDP will pick up enough votes to reverse the result of last election, but don't believe predictions of double-digit margins: the margin of victory here will probably mirror the margin of victory in popular vote province-wide.

    This is a safer Liberal riding than the the margin of victory would leave one to believe. While the riding has a large immigrant population they are mostly conservative in demeanour.
    Bernie Simpson won the riding in 1991 but, federally it is represented by a Conservative M.P. A Liberal hold.

    If the Liberals somehow get to 30 seats this may be one of them. At this point, however, it looks like this should go NDP by 1,000+ votes. The polls may have moved, but seemingly not enough to hold Fraserview.

    This is one of those ridings than can go either way. Anton's high profile and popular, and with polls showing Liberals catching up, this one should stay in the Liberal column.

    Kash Heed's disgrace is the NDP's gain here. Having come quite close last time, Yiu has got to be considered the overwhelming favourite in Fraserview. Suzanne Anton has high name recognition, but I'm not convinced it will work in her favour. High-profile unsuccessful candidates are often shunned by the public for a period of time after their loss (though it's hardly fair).
    That being said, I don't pretend to be an expert on the unusually complex political dynamics of this riding.
    13 03 07 NO PARTISAN BS
    99.253.117.108
    Only 4% difference last time and now with the NDP up and the Liberals way down in the polling, this looks like a likely NDP pick up.
    13 03 06 P. Kelly
    70.67.193.122
    The BC Liberals just handed this seat to the NDP by having Christy Clark appoint the failed mayoral candidate Susan Anton as candidate here. Oh, and she lost another nomination race against Sam Sullivan elsewhere, but got parachuted in by the leader. Truly, the liberals are a slow moving train-wreck
    13 03 04 DFinch

    The BC Libs took this but not by very large margins in the previous two elections. It is very hard to envision any scenario that they will retain it. Solid NDP pickup.
    13 02 18 Devon
    174.6.18.113
    The BCNDP should be able to pick this one up! Kash Heed was a ?star? candidate for the BC Liberals and he won by less than 800 votes.
    13 02 15 Laurence Putnam
    174.7.106.35
    This riding must surely be sick and tired of all the dirty tricks BC Liberals have played to keep this riding - and even then only by the skin of their teeth with very high profile candidates. This time it will be different.
