Adrian Dix: New Democratic Party

Property Insurance Dept: That was after spending roughly six decades selling insurance and sometimes real estate, mostly from the family storefront in Kerrisdale, according to Vancouver Sun. Adrian Dix, the 47-year-old B.C. NDP leader, has never sold auto or property insurance. Instead, when he wasn't executive director of Canadian Parents for French in B.C./Yukon, he has mostly toiled in politics, including as the chief of staff to former premier Glen Clark and ken Dix, the father of the leader of B.C.'s New Democratic Party opposition, sold his business and retired last November. He was 81. The father of Adrian Dix had emigrated from Dublin to Sudbury, Ont. in the 1950s, and later met his British-born immigrant wife, Hilda. After moving to Vancouver in 1969, the couple ended up running Dix Insurance Agency Ltd. on West 41st. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
