Northern Ontario is sparsely populated as well...union-dominant.
I think you're right on that one.
How sad! I flew into Vancouver and skied Whistler/Blackcomb 3 years ago and was completely taken aback by the anti-American sentiment there. Fortunately it was on my list of ski destinations and having now been there and done that, there is no chance I will ever return.........
FWIW, the scenery in Vancouver and along the coastline north is absolutely breathtaking!
Yes, I'm sure that's part of it too. But you should see Vancouver now. It's more and more difficult to find white faces, I kid you not.
I'm not against all the immigrants, lots of the Asians are very hardworking and constructive. Many obtain University educations and become professionals. But they always bring, Mom, Dad, Gramma, Grampa, Auntie, Uncle......., those are the ones that are so easily swayed by promises of multiculturalism, special rights for "your culture", on and on it goes. Pretty soon, WE are the minority.
PS - Vancouver Island is a really beautiful place, Victoria in particular. But it has become quite Liberal also. University city I guess.
"Don't know. Up until a couple of years ago, I thought Republicans were blue too ."
We should be any color we want. Why should the liberal media have any say... let them label their own kind.
BTW, it will be nice not hearing all the anti-American crap. Peace until their next election.
If you were to come into the interior (Okanagan Valley) Kelowna specifically, you would find NO anti-americanism. I NEVER hear that kind of talk. That is just so disheartening to hear. When I went through my nurses training at Vancouver General, I recall meeting a few draft dodgers. I doubt they stayed in Canada but they had arrived for a time. The visitors or tourists, were just so warmly welcomed. I HATE this crap. It started with the Trudeau years and the subsequent hard core liberals that have followed in his path. Liberalism is destructive. It divides, it thrives on strife, it's UGLY!!
Heck, everyone else is making suggestions, I might as well throw mine in the hat...
How about...Tentatively Optimistic Canadian
;~)
Some of us serious political historians and pundits still properly label Conservative/Republican as blue. This post-2000 media creation/switcheroo was to deliberately disassociate the Democrats with the color of international socialism/Marxism, red.
