- Incumbent: Adrian Dix (NDP | 2005)
- Candidates:
- NDP: Adrian Dix
- Conservative: Tom Ikonomou
- Green: Lawrence Taylor
- Description:
- The NDP candidate here could kick a dog and still win the riding - and that’s not just because it’s in East Van. Four-term incumbent and former leader Adrian Dix is back for another kick at the can.
- Centered on the neighbourhood of Renfrew-Collingwood, this riding is in effect a renamed Vancouver-Kingsway. Compared to its western sibling in Kensington, the riding has a smidge more industrial manufacturing jobs, and is less educated as well.
- The riding is 37% Chinese, but are more working and middle class compared to the nouveau riche on the West Side of the City. In particular, those who live south of Kingsway and 41st tend to be a bit more right-leaning than their counterparts elsewhere in the riding. It’s also home to some Filipino and Vietnamese residents as well, both of which strongly support the NDP.
- Finally, the most left-leaning portion of the riding can be found in its northwest corner with Trout Lake - the Greens came second there in some polls for the last two elections.
- Election 2020 Results (with 2024 boundaries):
- BC NDP – 69%
- BC Liberals – 20%
- BC Greens – 9%
