Burnaby--Douglas
Only 57.7 percent voter turnout in this riding in 2008.
Riding Projections
CandidatesThe NDP -- Svend Robinson and Bill Siksay -- represented this riding for decades, often winning with very slim margins. Siksay won by 798 votes over Conservative Ronald Leung in 2008, with the Liberals garnering over 9,000 votes. Whew -- almost a case where vote-splitting could have elected a Conservative. Leung is running for the third time against new NDP and Liberal candidates. It looks like the NDP candidate Kennedy Stewart has the best chance of holding off a Conservative surge which is a real concern at this time.
