(Edited after research) My Parents, Canadians, have been ex-Pats since the 1980s, and have more or less refused to share their voting history. They have not voted since 1988
My Father, a Liberal leaning NDPer in his youth 1986: Out of Country, there after 1984 Fed: NDP, Ed Broadbent 1983 BC: BC NDP, Dave Barrett 1980 Fed: Liberal, Pierre Trudeau 1979 Fed: NDP, Ed Broadbent, Dave Barrett 1975 BC:BC NDP, Dave Barrett 1974 Fed: Liberal, Pierre Trudeau
My Mother, a Liberal from a Liberal family 1988 Fed: Liberal, John Turner 1986 Prov. Liberal, Art Lee or possibly Social Credit, Bill Vander Zalm (I hope not) 1984 Fed, Prov: Liberal, John Turner 1983 Prov: Social Credit, Bill Bennett (I'm guessing, she was anti-NDP and hardly anyone voted Liberal that year)
They'd both be Democrats if they were US Citizens
Fathers Family - Father's Mother: Voted BC Liberal 2013, I'm fairly certain. Otherwise at minimum anti-Harper - Father's uncle: Old Montreal Anglo Corporate Exec. Is now and probably has been solidly LPC and PLQ Liberal since he moved their in the 1950s - Father's Sister and Younger Brother - both unionized, NDP voters, though the Uncle's wife is a known Conservative - Family heritage: Historically NDP/CCF community in BC for many years. Anglo-Protestant Heritage, make likely Tories before depression
Mother's Family -Mother's Mother - solid Federal Liberal really liked Pierre Trudeau. Never got over the NDP government in the 1990s, and seemed to be BC Liberal there after 2001 until she passed away in 2012 -Mother's Father - Solid Federal Liberal, personally disliked Jean Chretien, [called him 'Cretin'] but might have voted that way anyway -Mother's Mother's Family: Prairie Norwegians. probably Liberal/Progressive before the depression, definitely CCF/NDP until 1993, Reform/Conservative thereafter -Mother's Mother's Brother: Family Friend of the Mannings, so probably Alberta Social Credit back in the day, and was asked to be Reform Candidate in the 1990s by Preston Manning Mother's Father's Family - Land owning Anglo-protestants, but Liberals, this being BC where politics has always been an economic and not a social question -Some of Mother's sisters, known BC Liberals
