The stage is set for many tough federal election battles across British Columbia, but Burnaby North-Seymour merits particular scrutiny. The riding was created in the 2012 federal election redistribution to reflect the region's growing population. It includes much of Burnaby-Douglas (now held by NDP MP Kennedy Stewart) and North Vancouver (now held by Conservative MP Andrew Saxton), which have historically voted very differently and seem to have little in common.
