Montreal is like this, it is so overwhelmed with Quebec specific parties that even what is called the Liberal party there has virtually no relation to the federal one, and most provincial parties including the one in power do not exist anywhere else

Bc liberal party is NOT the federal liberal party. bc libs are conservatives.

You are now living in the Left Coast, Canadian version of Socialist Utopia. Victoria is known as the City of the Newlwed and the Nearly dead. Which category you fall into jaja

At least West of the Cascades.

The Liberal party in B.C. Are the conservatives and free enterprise.

The conservative force exists across the board.. you'r not looking hard enough.

The BC Liberal party of today is more corporatist than either liberal or conservative. They evolved from the Social Credit party.

The Social Credit Party (Socreds) achieved power in 1951 by defeating the Liberal-Conservative coalition, when several Conservative members crossed the floor to join the Socreds. W.A.C. Bennett was one of those Conservatives, and was elected leader (Premier) by the Socred caucus..

The Liberal-Conservative coalition formed in 1941 for the explicit purpose of preventing the CCF (later renamed NDP) from achieving power.

BC is politically left wing, no denying that. The furthest right they will go is such that they have to label conservatism as liberal. Really though, PJ O'Rourke, a conservative journalist and author, said. "There is nothing more conservative than a liberal institution."

In the nineties the political party struggle was between the NDP and Social Credit parties. The liberals and conservatives were both defunct. The liberals gained a toehold in the late nineties and the Social Credit party disappeared. The liberals are about as far right as BC will acknowledge although conservatives may take a seat or two in the next election. The Green party is a far left party and right now they have formed a coalition to form government. A lot of foreign money from left wing interests played a part in the results, in my estimation. Conservatives here will vote liberal in order to prevent an NDP government.

Yes, unfortunately a conservative party hasn't been able to get a foothold in our province. We mainly just work hard to keep all the other parties from messing with the Liberal party who is lesser of all evils in this province.

Here in Seattle a classical liberal like me feels I'm conservative which I don't mind at all because I actually share more views with conservatives than radical left. I think the whole pnw is like this.
