Question on Canadian politics

[trof]

We're going to Vernon, BC for a wedding in July.

Is BC generally more conservative than the other provinces?

Do Canadian conservatives tend to like/support Bush*?

Will get my ass kicked if I wear my "If you can't say anything nice about George W. Bush*...
Sit next to me." 'T' shirt, or will they buy all my drinks?

Thank you.

1. I don't know about B.C.......but I doubt that.....

they are that conservative. Oh, sure, there are some places where some people are more conservative, but I wouldn't worry. Conservatives generally are pretty normal and decent folk up here.;)

No, you won't get your ass kicked. Not only will they buy you drinks, I'm sure they even could all chip in for your airfare. ;) :toast: :thumbsup:

(My dad and grandpa are conservatives, and they HATE Bush):nuke:

5. seriously......

I think you'll enjoy your stay. :D

3. I don't think you'll have to worry about it too much...

Alberta is much more conservative than BC, and I don't think Bush is all that popular there. Now I only lived in BC for a year and lived in Alberta for 21 years...so I might not be the best judge of BC, but yeah generally I don't think you'll have a hard time in BC (as long as you're not trying to get loggers to stop clear cutting old-growth).

Lots of good fruit in BC though. Also very very potent marijuhuana...if you're so inclined.

Be sure to check out some of the more popular micro-brews, Shaftsbury Cream Ale was always a favorite of mine...

4. BC is pretty liberal really...

considering the Mayor of Vancouver wants to leaglize pot and tax it to pay for hard drug problems.

6. And yet it's still the only Canuck city I've been called "pothead" in....

lol

i like Vancouver a whole bunch though...but not as much as I like Vancouver Island....

The first was over 30 years ago. Short fishing trip north of International Falls.

Is booze expensive?

8. Well, where you're going in BC is half and half Trof

However...even Canadian Conservatives hate George Bush so you'll be okay.

Also,you'll be close to me! If you have a spare moment we can get together.

You'll love the okanagan, it's amazing

10. A little town called Princeton

It's about a two hour drive from Vernon...but if you have some spare time I can meet ya halfway in Kelowna.....and show you the beautiful thing that is a White Spot burger.
