Voters in North Vancouver, B.C., head to polls in byelection
NORTH VANCOUVER — Voters are heading to the polls in British Columbia’s North Vancouver-Capilano, with byelections also taking place in two ridings in Quebec and Ontario.
The riding in North Vancouver is considered a safe Liberal seat, where former cabinet minister Jonathan Wilkinson won for a fourth time last year with almost 60 per cent of the vote, his best result.
Wilkinson resigned as a member of Parliament in June to become Canada’s ambassador to the European Union, with longtime Liberal aide Braeden Caley stepping away from his role in Ottawa to launch a campaign for the seat.
Caley, who hails from B.C., has held a string of positions with the party, most recently serving as deputy chief of staff to Prime Minister Mark Carney.
