Poll question: Which is the most right-wing province?
Which province is the most conservative, the most right-wing of all of the provinces. I am sorry I did not include the territories (not enough space!) but you may add them by posting the name of the territory.

1. If rural BC or rural Ontario were provinces, it would be a three-way tie.

2. AB, no question.
Thank goodness I live in its most liberal city (Edmonton).

3. Yawn.
Compared to the neocons, Canadian RW's are well, silly.

And population-density hamstrung.

4. AB
But BC under the Liberals is a close second.

5. "This Hour has 22 Minutes" brillantly compared Alberta
to a middle-eastern dictatorship (huge oil supply, dictator Ralph Klein, cultural oddity of line dancing companed to Islamic culture).

6. No surprise it's Alberta
I would like someone to tell me what the appeal of Klein is? Ok, I know he got them out of a huge debt, but what has he done for them lately?

And do most Albertans support expanding oil drilling? Do they understand what this does to the environment and their beloved province?

7. So what are the most left wing, liberal areas of Canada?
I'm guessing Vancouver would be near the top. Where else? Anywhere kind of rural?

9. Halifax is getting there
NDP swept the provincial legislative seats and won most of the federal Commons seats in the area... plus legalized same-sex marriage, etc. Now if they'd just allow Sunday shopping!
