Idk who they used to vote for in BC, but they told me the drug issues in Victoria and Vancouver were what drove them to vote more conservative. Showed me some documentary called "Vancouver is dying". I'm from the US so I don't know a lot about Canadian politics but from what I gather Danielle Smith is an anti trans fascist. They don't seem to agree.
They immigrated from the US and can't stand trump but I guess they identify more with the Canadian version of George Bush era Republicans than outright fascist Republicans. I couldn't get them to admit that Canada doesn't have the social safety net to get everyone out of drug addiction. It's like they think they moved to some northern utopia or something lol.
