Riding Info
This central Vancouver riding encompasses an area running from Boundary Road in the east to Oak Street in the west, bordered on the south by 41st Avenue West, 41st Avenue East, School Avenue, Tyne Street and 49th Avenue East, and on the north by 16th Avenue West, 16th Avenue East, 15th Avenue East and Grandview Highway South.
Population: 119,815 (2006 census; an increase of 3.9% since 2001)
Political History
In 2008, New Democrat Don Davies won a close three-way race, besting Liberal Wendy Yuan and Conservative Salomon Rayek. Liberal David Emerson retained this seat in 2006, although the riding promptly ended up in Conservative hands. Two weeks after the 2006 federal election, Emerson crossed over to the Tories, frustrating voters in a riding that has not voted Conservative since 1958.
Emerson won here in 2004, defeating former New Democrat MP Ian Waddell by 1,351 votes. Prime Minister Paul Martin named Emerson minister of industry in 2004.
Liberal Sophia Leung held this seat from 1997 to 2004, first beating New Democrat Victor Wong and then, in 2000, fending off the Canadian Alliance's Alice Wong by 5,042 votes.
Vancouver Quadra was held by Tories from 1949 to 1963, by Liberals from 1963 to 1972 and by Tory Bill Clarke from 1972 to 1984.
The old Vancouver Kingsway riding picked MPs from the CCF and NDP from 1953 through the 1984 election, with just one exception, a Progressive Conservative in the 1958 Diefenbaker sweep.
