2019 Canada election results: Mission-Matsqui-Fraser Canyon

The Conservatives have re-taken the riding of Mission-Matsqui-Fraser Canyon from the Liberals.

Conservative Brad Vis garnered 42.1 per cent of the vote, well ahead of Liberal incumbent Jati Sidhu, who finished with 26.3 per cent. The NDP’s Michael Nenn trailed in third with the Greens’ John Kidder a distant fourth.

This year’s election was a rematch of the 2015 election, which saw Sidhu defeat Vis by a little more than 1,000 votes as he rode the Liberal “red wave” that swept Metro Vancouver.
