August1991 Posted June 6 Report Posted June 6 It is so obvious the divide. I am surprised that some people in BC are so left-wing, but so not British. Quote
herbie Posted June 6 Report Posted June 6 WTF are you babbling about? BTW BC is not British as it's part of Canada and Canada is not British. Quote

herbie Posted June 7 Report Posted June 7 Some come-from-aways read the travel brochure about High Tea at the Empress Hotel or Butchart Gardens in Victoria and conclude that is BC. Usually the same ones that thought the BC Liberals were Liberals. Quote

People in northern/Interior BC vote differently from Vancouver - the city. On this forum, a poster once explained to me why Vancouver Island had a Green MP and a Conservative MP. He said, "There are tree-huggers and tree-cutters." ===== Alberta needs an outlet to the sea. 1 Quote
herbie Posted June 11 Report Posted June 11 People in Surrey, Langley, Abbotsford and Chilliwack vote differently too. What the hell does what party they vote for have to do with Trump unless you're implying Conservatives are pro-Trump? Are you? 21 hours ago, August1991 said: Alberta needs an outlet to the sea. Alberta is a province. The most prosperous one in the country, it doesn't "need" anything. The oil industry WANTS an outlet to the sea. Being unable to see the difference between Albertans and the Oil Interests is as absurd as your claim the historical name of this province means we're "British". 1 Quote

herbie Posted June 25 Report Posted June 25 Good God haven't you ever road tripped? We did Vancouver - London Ont. non-stop as teens. Of course took turns driving. It was just over 1000 kms to visit the folks on the Coast and we did it dozens of times. Just me when the parents were in care. More relaxing, cheaper than dealing with airport parking, security, outrageous plane fares and car rentals when you got there. Find BC Hwy37 on a map and follow where it goes. You too will want to punch the next redneck that says "Canada is full" in the face. Quote

I often drive to my sister's cabin/cottage (600 km) for a weekend. Canadians, Australians and Americans drive like that. I was astonished to learn that Russians also drive like that.

August1991 Posted June 27 Author Report Posted June 27 Norwegians have cabins/cottages like rich people in Quebec/Ontario/America - but Norwegians don't drive the way we do. Quote
herbie Posted June 28 Report Posted June 28 They can if they want, they have roads and a long, skinny country with fiords to go around. And they can do it in an electric car. So could have I. One full charge to where I staid overnight. And right there at the end of the road, 2 BC hydro chargers right downtown. Useable Sunday unlike the only gas station. Might have added an hour or so to nonstop the way back for a couple quick charges while I got something to eat. Quote

Sorry but Alberta doesn't share a border with Alaska. You need to bone up on your Canadian geography. You live in Montreal so you know damn well that Montreal doesn't vote the same way as much of Quebec. On 6/28/2025 at 9:24 PM, August1991 said: To return to my OP: 1.
