Voting patterns like this reinforce the stereotype that parallels Texas. Socially-conservative, valuing money/economy above all, etc.

Maybe I'm wrong here but I think voting is more of an Anit-East (Pro-West) thing. That means the conservative party.
Even growing up in BC there was an us and them/west vs east attitude. Or at least the part of BC I grew up in (Vernon). Maybe Vancouver is different.
