2019 Canada election results: North Vancouver

Jonathan Wilkinson has been re-elected in the riding of North Vancouver, earning 42.7 per cent of the vote.

Wilkinson, who entered the election as the Minister of Fisheries, Oceans, and the Canadian Coast Guard, defeated Conservative Andrew Saxton, who served as the area’s MP from 2008 to 2015, and Justine Bell of the NDP.

The race was hotly contested last time around, with the Liberals, Conservatives and Greens all spending more than $130,000 on local campaigns. Wilkinson got the best bang for his buck winning 36,458 votes (56.7 per cent). Saxton finished second with 17,301 votes (26.9 per cent) and the Greens’ Claire Martin squeaked in a third-place finish with 5,350 votes (8.3 per cent).
