Mark Wiens , a Vancouver realtor, was the uncontested nominee in Vancouver East .

Wiens will be campaigning sooner than expected after a sudden and remarkable Liberal climb in the polls.

Before Christmas the Liberal party was facing certain defeat.

The Grits are now polling at 46 per cent to the Tories37 per cent .

As of Friday , the Liberals hadn’t nominated a candidate in the New West riding.

The Conservatives need another eight candidates, according to the Canadian Elections Tracker and party candidate notices.

Richard Johnston , professor emeritus in political science at the University of B.C. , says much of the support for Poilievre ’s Conservatives was about anti-Tr Trudeau sentiment.
