几十年来首次，不列颠哥伦比亚省将迎来一位来自大温哥华地区以北的省长，这是在大选胜利后产生的结果。
For the first time in decades, British Columbia will have a premier from north of Metro Vancouver following a general election victory.
尽管他在纽威斯敏斯特出生、在素里长大，但 Lorne Doerkson 成年后搬到了 B.C. 内陆地区，曾在萨蒙阿姆、普林斯乔治和 100 Mile House 的报社工作，2001 年定居威廉斯莱克。他也毫不掩饰对该地区的热爱。
Though he was born in New Westminster and raised in Surrey, Lorne Doerkson moved to the B.C. Interior as an adult, working for newspapers in Salmon Arm, Prince George and 100 Mile House before settling in Williams Lake in 2001. And he isn't shy about making his love for the region known.
“我爱 Cariboo-Chilcotin，”他在选举之夜的胜利演讲中激动地说，称威廉斯莱克为家，并特别提到了包括 Fort St. John 和 Quesnel 在内的关键北部和内陆城市。
"I love Cariboo-Chilcotin," he enthused in his election night victory speech, calling Williams Lake home while also giving specific mention to key northern and Interior cities, including Fort St. John and Quesnel.
“很长一段时间以来，许多不列颠哥伦比亚人感觉维多利亚忘记了他们，仿佛地图在 Hope 就结束了，”他说，指的是这个常被视为南部 B.C. 与该省其他地区非官方分界线的社区。“但今晚，整张地图都算数了。”
"For a very long time, a lot of British Columbians have felt like Victoria forgot about them, like the map maybe stopped at Hope," he said, referencing the community often referred to as the unofficial border between southern B.C. and the rest of the province. "But tonight the whole map counts."
上一位来自温哥华以北、赢得大选的政党领袖是 Bill Bennett，他于 1986 年离任。
The last party leader from north of Vancouver to win an election was Bill Bennett, who left office in 1986.
Dan Miller 曾以北海岸选区议员身份担任省长和 B.C. 新民主党临时领袖六个月，但他从未率领政党参加竞选。
Dan Miller served as premier and interim leader of the B.C. NDP for six months while representing the North Coast, but he never led his party in a campaign.
一位来自“Hope 以北”的新任省长上台，也让其他人对该地区的未来表达了乐观。
An incoming premier from "beyond Hope" has others expressing optimism for the future of the region, too.
“ Cariboo 地区的人走进这个角色，是我们城市和地区的骄傲时刻，”威廉斯莱克市长 Surinderpal Rathor 写道，“我期待确保威廉斯莱克的优先事项继续成为省级对话的一部分，包括医疗保健、公共安全、基础设施和强劲的本地经济。”
"Having someone from the Cariboo step into this role is a proud moment for our city and region," Williams Lake Mayor Surinderpal Rathor wrote on "I look forward to ensuring the priorities of Williams Lake remain part of the provincial conversation, including health care, public safety, infrastructure and a strong local economy."
“ Alex Fraser 今晚在笑了，”新任 Quesnel 市长 Coralee Oakes 说，提到了这位前 B.C. 交通部长，他从 1969 年到 1989 年代表 Cariboo 地区，并为该地区的许多基础设施项目负责。
"Alex Fraser is smiling tonight," said incoming Quesnel mayor Coralee Oakes, referencing the former B.C. transportation minister, who represented the Cariboo region from 1969 until 1989 and was responsible for many infrastructure projects in the region.
前卑诗省保守党领袖特雷弗·博林现正准备就任福特圣约翰市市长，迎接他的首个任期。他说，看到一位来自农村地区的省长当选人即将宣誓就职，他“感到无比自豪”。
Former B.C. Conservative Party leader Trevor Bolin, now preparing for his first term as mayor of Fort St. John, said he "couldn't be more proud" to see a rural premier-designate getting ready to be sworn in.
面临的挑战 杜克森周日早上在媒体群访中进一步阐述了他将为这份工作带来的视角，直接对“卑诗省农村和北部、内陆地区、和平河地区、温哥华岛以及沿海地区”的选民讲话。他说：“你们已经很久没有一位来自你们居住地的省长了。”
Challenges ahead Doerkson delved further into what perspective he would bring to the job during a media scrum Sunday morning, directly addressing voters in "rural and northern British Columbia, the Interior, the Peace, the Island and the coast." "It has been a long time since you've had a premier from where you live," he said.
“当工厂关闭、急诊室夜间停诊、山脊上发生火灾时意味着什么，我深有体会。在我的政府领导下，你们永远不会成为公共服务体系的事后诸葛亮。”住在乔治王子城的前卑诗省自由党议员雪莉·邦德周一作为CBC政治小组成员发言时表示，杜克森的挑战将在于兑现他承诺的变革信息。
"I know what it means when the mill closes, when the ER shuts at night and when there's fire on the ridge. Under this government, you will never be an afterthought to the public service." Speaking as part of the CBC political panel Monday, former B.C. Liberal MLA Shirley Bond, who lives in Prince George, said Doerkson's challenge would be delivering on the message of change he's promised.
她说：“保持急诊室开放，我想没人会对此有异议。问题是，如何做到这一点？”同样，北英属哥伦比亚大学政治学家杰森·莫里斯表示，杜克森仍需关注卑诗省南部的人口中心。
"Keeping emergency rooms open, I don't think [anyone] is going to disagree on that," she said. "The question is, how do you get there?" Likewise, University of Northern British Columbia political scientist Jason Morris said Doerkson would still have to pay attention to the population centres in southern B.C.
他说：“省长的角色是作为该省的正式象征，有责任有效地与全省各地公民接触、倾听并代表他们。”
Daybreak North15:17Post-election northern B.C. political panel "The role of a premier is to be a formal symbol of the province that is expected to effectively engage with and listen and represent citizens from all parts of the province," he said.
“卑诗省人口的平衡点集中在温哥华大都市区和温哥华岛南端，那里始终掌握着大量的权力和影响力。”
"The balance of the population in British Columbia is concentrated in the metropolis areas of Vancouver and the southern tip of Vancouver Island, and that is always where a significant amount of power and influence is going to be held."
杜克森也确保将他的信息与卑诗省南部联系起来，赞扬温哥华和素里的企业，并表示“北部的一座矿山开工，能让德尔塔的港口忙碌起来。”
Doerkson has made sure to connect his message to southern B.C. as well, praising businesses in Vancouver and Surrey and stating "a mine opening in the north keeps a port busy in Delta."
