B.C. Election: Vancouver Island Takes a Stand

The dust has settled on the 2023 B.C. election, and Vancouver Island is still buzzing with the results. This year, the island saw some pretty big changes, with a few surprises and a few expected wins. We're gonna dive into the riding-by-riding breakdown, and see how things shook out for our island neighbors.

Nanaimo: A Tight Race

The Nanaimo riding was a nail-biter, with the NDP's Doug Routley squeaking past the BC Liberals' Sheila Malcolmson by a narrow margin. This was a classic case of "too close to call" for most of the night, showing that Nanaimo voters are seriously split on where they want to go.

Victoria: Green Wave Continues

In Victoria, the Green Party candidate Adam Olsen cemented his position as the riding's representative. This is no surprise given the Green Party's strong presence in the city, but it does show how the party is gaining momentum on the island, and province-wide.

Courtenay-Comox: NDP Holds Tight

Things went pretty smoothly for the NDP in Courtenay-Comox. Ronna-Rae Leonard secured her seat, proving that the region is pretty solidly in favor of the NDP's platform.

Parksville-Qualicum: A New Face

The Parksville-Qualicum riding saw a change in leadership with the election of Michelle Stilwell of the BC Liberals. Stilwell, a former Paralympian, brought a lot of energy to the campaign and clearly connected with voters.

The Bigger Picture

These are just a few of the island's ridings. Looking at the overall picture, it's clear that the Vancouver Island region is becoming more and more politically diverse. The NDP has a stronghold in some areas, while the Liberals and Greens are gaining ground in others. This is a sign of a healthy and active electorate, and it'll be interesting to see how the island shapes the political landscape in the years to come.
