The woman at top right, Sharon Hartwell, is the MLA for the region of B.C. where I live, Bulkley Valley-Stikine. She was first elected as MLA in 2024. We had all of three parties to choose from on Oct. 24th: 🔵 Hartwell, 🟠 an unfamiliar Indigenous woman for NDP, and a BC Christian Heritage Party guy.

We support students with diverse abilities in all of BC including those who live along the 60th parallel north. Tim and Adam recently visited #Atlin School up in BC's northwest corner, #SD87 (Stikine). They made time to pan for gold & view grizzlies (from afar).

I've heard that Kelowna is, essentially, a very distance bedroom community of Red Deer, AB.

And then there's 🔵 Smithers, BC (Bulkley Valley-Stikine), where I live. The northwestern, rural remote, conservative and religious vote. IYKYK. (I miss Vancouver's westside!)

Bulkley Valley - Stikine (northwestern BC). Pretty much guaranteed to be blue again.

"White agitators"?

Based on the posts to social media, some locals appear to believe they're in the Antebellum or Jim Crow-era U.S. south.

Bottom 6 ridings in terms of total
1. 6,621 North Coast-Haida Gwaii
2. 7,811 Peace River South
3. 8,539 Bulkley Valley-Stikine
4. 9,337 Nechako Lakes
5. 10,749 Peace River North
6. 10,960 Skeena

In the Northwest, the NDP has held on to North Coast-Haida Gwaii. Conservatives have kept Skeena after flipping it from the NDP in 2024. Still in play: Bulkley Valley-Stikine, which flipped NDP to Conservatives in 2024. Also surprisingly still in play is John Rustad's old Nechako Lakes riding

There are only 13 ridings in B.C. (out of 93) where the BC NDP's vote share is higher tonight than in the 2024 election. The biggest gain: The NDP is up almost 20 points in Bulkley Valley-Stikine, where the NDP candidate is beating the Conservative incumbent. bc-voteshift.chadskelton.chatgpt.site

It appears that 🔵Sharon Hartwell might lose her seat in my riding (Bulkley-Stikine).

"White agitators"????

On a night where the Conservatives are doing very, very well the second biggest gain in the province is the NDP in Bulkley Valley-Stikine, where the NDP candidate is ahead of the Conservative incumbent. Anyone know what's going on in this riding? Could be early results weirdness.
October 25, 2026 at 4:02 AM
Other factors: No Green candidate in the Bulkley Valley-Stikine (Greens got 6% in 2024). And the NDP candidate is a Gitxsan woman in a riding with a large Indigenous population.
October 25, 2026 at 4:36 AM
And the Conservatives are now ahead in Bulkley Valley-Stikine. Weird to see such a big shift this late in the count. The last few (rural? remote?) polling areas much have been heavily Conservative. bc-voteshift.chadskelton.chatgpt.site

Bulkley Valley-Stikine is only 6/46 polls reporting, a lot lower than in most ridings. My current best bet is this is just early results weirdness — that the few polls reporting happen to be NDP leaning.
October 25, 2026 at 4:05 AM
Things are tightening up in Bulkley Valley-Stikine. NDP has gone from a 20 point lead to it being neck and neck (though Frankie Abel is still doing 10 points better than the NDP did in 2024). bc-voteshift.chadskelton.chatgpt.site

This happened a couple of nights ago in Smithers (Bulkley Valley-Stikine). You can bet I miss living in Vancouver - Point Grey!

This riding will remain blue.

There are but three choices in Bulkley Valley-Stikine: the incumbent BC Conservative; an unknown young Indigenous woman for NDP, and some guy from the BC Christian Heritage Party. The riding will likely remain blue.

This happened in Bulkley Valley-Stikine (Taylor B. and Nathan C's former riding) the other night at the Boston Pizza in Smithers, B.C. The riding went blue in 2024, and I have a feeling that it will likely stay so.
