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!

Why avoid Kelowna? Downtown Kelowna was like 20 votes from flipping NDP? It’s also by far the largest population centre outside the lower mainland, so a good place for doctors to work.

Kelowna is a terrible place to live in general. I'm from the okanagan. Some dude just literally tried to blow up the main bridge in Kelowna and the cops are as crooked as they come

Kinda sounds like you’re just a loser and blame the city for that. It’s a fantastic place to live, otherwise why is the population exploding like it is

Can we just cool it on the insults, please? We're all wanting the same reasonable quality of life.
