Just on the surface of that I can see a lot of people wanting him as they think he’s better for the oil industry. They are simply ignoring all the other baggage associated with Agent Orange as they care most about jobs. It’s a bit of a Maslow hierarchy of needs thing.

I’m sure there are people in Chilliwack who are Trump supporters too.
I don't really understand why people do this. There are a number of dip####, far-right loons in Alberta, probably more so than in most of the other provinces (at least as a percentage). It's still a minority of the province, and it doesn't mean all Albertans believe this nonsense, but it exists there. Let's not try to make excuses.

Every single province in Canada has their own fringe that makes the rest of the province embarrassed. BC has their hippy, eco-loons. Quebec has the separatism and xenophobia wing (and I don't even know that I'd classify that as "fringe" there). Ontario has their weird, redneck bush loons (BC has these, too). The Atlantic provinces have had some serious racism issues over the years, etc., etc.
