Yep a huge influx of South Asians into a neighborhood here called Rutland that sits in the Kelowna central riding and that riding provincially and federally is now in play most elections. And less impactfully voting wise, there was a wave of white collar remote professionals from lower main into the more suburban areas in the South Kelowna riding.
Selfishly, I am happy that it's more competitive as we never really saw any major infrastructure projects that the swing ridings get in BC. Kamloops has always been close and it's less than half the size of Kelowna, yet has the HQs of a few govt agencies like BC Lottos and a much better invested in hospital for example.
