It's not just the French. In my view, Canada is composed of five distinct political regions.

1) Ontario. The largest province, by far. Has politics similar to Massachusetts. Elects left-leaning parties to the national parliament. Pockets of conservatives, but the conservative party is split, so they don't win many seats (ridings).

2) Quebec. French speaking. Were more separatist than they are now. Leans left, more so than Ontario, but with all that French language stuff.

3) The maritims. Really hard core left.

4) The western provinces. Conservatives. Some urban areas are more liberal.

5) The north. Not many people, lots of ice. Indians.

We could use a few more conservative rural states. :^)

What keeps the conservatives split in Ontario?

Would you happen to know if despite Canda's immense size, most of her citizens might live compressed together because most of Canada's climate and/or geography is inhospitable?
