It’s Official - BC Is Conservative

Nearly half of B.C. voters - 46 per cent - cast their ballots for Conservative candidates, up from 37.3 per cent in 2006. If you take Vancouver out of the equation, (where the Conservatives won), the other half of BC voters overwhelmingly voted Conservative.
Overall, 61% of all seats went Conservative - remove Vancouver and you have 86% of seats going to Harper.
It’s time this reality is taken into account in BC - the people aren’t as radically left as they have you believe.
Let’s hope this translates into the local political scene.

Yeah they are.
In the urban areas, it is gross how leftist they are. They don’t even think about what Conservatives stand for or their positions on issues. They just repeat like a mantra, “Conservative=evil”, “Conservative=Bush” and rock themselves to sleep.
The only thing that allows Conservatives to get elected in Vancouver is the majority of the leftist citizens of these places are too stoned on their illegal pot to get out to vote.
