I'm guessing the unpopularity of the BC NDP in the 1990s played a role in sinking the working class NDP vote in BC a lot of which went Reform, while Romanow's popularity (at least relative to Harcourt and Clark) probably kept the NDP in contention federally.

Interior BC is where all hyper-Conservative Albertans go to die... Literally. Kelowna is the retirement choice of the alt-right and where Stockwell Day washed up on his Jet ski.
My observational theory about Western Canadians is that we always tend to move one province west. Most Saskatchewan expats are found in Alberta, Ex Albertans almost always settle in BC... Even amongst my graduating class of Journalism students in 2007, half are in Vancouver, 33% remained locally and the rest scattered to places like Calgary and Fredericton...
