Federal election results show an urban-rural divide in B.C. Here's why some political scientists are worried
75% Informative
B.C. 's urban-rural divide isn’t new or unique to the province, but several factors have caused political scientists to take note.
Rural voters tend to be “older and whiter,” while those in urban areas are more cosmopolitan and have more education.
Economic differences play a role, with people in agriculture and resource industries feeling “under attack” by environmentalists.
In the recent federal election, the collapse of the NDP — from 13 seats to three — reinforced the urban-rural divide in B.C. In part due to the growing divide, suburbs have become the linchpin” in Canadian elections.
Suburbs, Lucas agreed, are “fascinating places in the middle of this”.
