I live in this riding for most of the year (history/poli sci student at SFU during the school year) and I will try to offer some insights based on my first-hand experience. I have seen many signs up for Will Hansma and Alice Brown, but almost zero presence of any kind (except for his campaign office) for the incumbent, Darrel Stinson. I don't know whether his lack of signs and/or other presence indicates either complacency or arrogance, but it does not further his reputation at all for me. I can see the vote being a tight race between the Tories and the Liberals simply because Mr. Stinson is a backbencher MP with not a lot of influence in his party and, in addition, he does not anything of importance for this riding. On the other hand, Mr. Hansma is a successful former mayor and is well-known throughout this riding. Depending on the NDP vote, the Liberals could even win this riding.

I live in this 'redneck' riding and from talking to people there seems to be more and more support for the Green party. I realize they don't really have a snowball's chance but so far Green signs are all I see on our streets. Someone is just threatened enough to keep tearing mine down. Stinson will probably get the seat, but he'll also be receiving a message to mend his ways.

It is very premature to call this an NDP win. The NDP have not won this seat since the days of Dave Stupich in 1988. While they have done better here, relative to other BC seats, they still have a lot of ground to cover. The NDP candidate is unknown in Nanaimo where the biggest bloc of votes reside.

This riding has been won by the NDP and in the distant past by the Liberals. It is not hardcore right wing, just a centre right area.
Darrell Stinson is there because he was in the right place at the right time in 1993. Since then he has publically reflected an attitude many interior BC people have of planet Ottawa (and yes many people think he is a yahoo, but he is their yahoo)
If the federal NDP was still weak and if the Federal Liberals did not again ignore BC and abuse it as always, the Liberals could win this one. But Martin with his appointment of candidates and failure to stop cash grabs by corrupt people and an inability to make softwood lumber important to the feds - Quebec ad agencies get more money for doing nothing than BC based forestry communities which have been hammered by the failure of the Liberals to negotiate a deal with the US.

Darren Stinson, his cowboy hat, and his fisticuffs have won re-election twice in a redneck riding. Whatever city folk (or John Cannis) might think of Stinson, he's going back to Ottawa.

The margin of victory is just too much for anyone to overcome, this riding will go Conservative.

Any riding that would elect Darrel Stinson by huge margins three times in a row sure as heck won't stop now.
