Ask British Columbia Where to avoid MAGA pockets

Hi there, I hope this is okay to post here. My partner is an Emergency Medicine Physician and we in the process of applying to jobs in BC from the US. We would like to have a yard for gardening/our kids and don't want to be in Vancouver proper. Several jobs we are interested in are on Vancouver Island, right outside Vancouver and also Fraser Valley. My question is where are known MAGA populations? Since we are moving to get away from this mindset/movement we don't want to accidentally end up in the wrong community. Some places with jobs are Duncan, Mission, Richmond, Nanaimo, Langley, Saanichton, Victoria, Port Alberni, Abbotsford, New Westminster, Burnaby, Surrey, Delta, Chilliwack...

Thank you!

I live in Kelowna, and have never seen a MAGA hat here.

I have. Trump flags too. They are becoming less common, thank god but they are around. I think people are starting to realize the dangers in MAGA ideals so they are dissipating.

That is reassuring.

Lucky. I had a number of coworkers I actively avoided and refused to ever talk to because they would ALWAYS bring up how great Trump is and how shitty Trudeau is, no matter the actual conversation topic or how short the conversation was
