I think the urban/rural divide is a better lens with which to look at this topic.
Not really. Urban = left to far left. Rural = right to far right.
Literally true everywhere. There's not much to learn from it.
@@corystarkiller I am thinking that rather than try to rank provinces look holistically at the urban/rural divide, (which you accurately describe) and try to understand why it exists, start with the rural areas of the most urbanized part of the country: southern Ontario. Ranking by province doesn't make much sense to me.
@@maestroCanuck They're not going to be able to do that, because you're looking for a psychology channel.
Very interesting topic though. Full of topics about being removed from nature causing you to rely on government instead of yourself and your group, how people act differently alone vs in a group, your responsibility to others while alone vs in a group, etc.
In a non-offensive way towards this channel, your request is outside of the normal boundaries for this channel. Unless they have a psych major on staff, with a willingness to read a bunch of behavioural, evolutionary, and probably a few other branches of psychology.
@@corystarkiller agree actually, my request would not be for this channel, it isn't a request at all, simply a critique.
Crazy how in 40 years Quebec basically went from BY FAR the most conservative to the most Liberal. crazy how fast things change.
They are conservative for themselves. But progressive to other canadians, who arent in quebec. Like for taking in refugees, they are for it 100% but not in there province and nowhere close to them. They like to tell others what they should do while they do the opposite.
we are still very conservative and against immigration ect been "less religious" just mean we don't bend to the pope anymore.Quebec is not recognizable because we are invade by alien that want sharia law ect...quebecker has not change the other that come here is making quebec a shit hole.im religious but im pagan my ancestor are pagan not christian! viking ,native american has been force to follow false religion
it was the "quiet revolution" and the rejection of the catholic church that drove this change
@@paulcarey1708 Greed. The politicians paid them.
@@EternallyGod Not catching your drift - the politicians paid who? (and what results were they looking for?)
It was not until you got to Ontario that you began to disaggregate urban from rural, and that is critical in all provinces. It's not unlike the urban-rural break in most US states.
For starters, Quebec is socially conservative in rural areas such as Saguenay and Gaspe. The adherence to French language nationalism that permeates all of Quebec politics defies the liberal-conservative metric used elsewhere but would probably be considered by many as extremely conservative. B.C. is quite liberal in Vancouver and Vancouver Island, but this breaks down rapidly even in Vancouver's suburbs but especially across the mountains in central B.C. It is not unlike the similar divide in Washington and Oregon between the liberal coast and deep conservative interior.
Your middle 3, NB, NL and MB are about correct but I would posit that Manitoba's only real progressive area is Winnipeg. Unlike neighboring SK, Manitoba does have one major urban area which pushed the province overall to a middle. Yes, SK is quite conservative due in part to having only 2 mid-sized urban centers. However, a big, big caveat here is that Sakatchewan's conservtism is almost entirely social and decidedly not economic. The prov and fed governments play a major role in most economic sectors and that is widely accepted. I would flip your ranking with Alberta as by far the most conservative, primarily based on their free market approach to resources. From an electroal perspective, once you get west of the Canadian shield most ridings will elect Tory candidates with the excpetions being in each of the urban centres of Winnipage, Calgary, and Edmontnn, Vancouver, and Victoria.
Your overview lacks historic context. Until the Quiet Revolution of the 1960s Quebec was by orders of magnitude the most conservative province, essentially being run by the Catholic Church. Meanwhile, going back to the 1930s, Saskatchewan was bar the most liberal. Iti shte borthplace of what today is Canada's left leaning party, the NDP. It was a reaciotn toe the Great Depression whihc the Prairies particularly hard.
as a conservative canadian can confirm, btw ur second comment should be an edit or reply to this
Could you do same video but set in the 1960’s ?
When he got to the "Middle Ground" provinces, monologue was so repetitive that I began to wonder if it was written by AI.
Quebec swings left and right all the time so it cant be considered liberal or conservative
Thank you for your comment. Your feedback is most welcomed. While your point is well-taken when it comes to parties in power at the provincial level, it can apply to most other provinces as well (possibly with the exception of Alberta and Saskatchewan). The intent of the exercise is to compare the provinces with one another on degree of conservatism. As mentioned in the video, no doubt there is some oversimplification here as it draws some broad conclusions. But the question is, would you rank the provinces differently than what is presented in the video?
Interestingly, the US states bordering the different provinces share the political ideologies of the neighbouring provinces. An Albertan has more in common with a Texan, than a Nova Scotian.
What about the three territories?
They have such low total populations, that elections can be won on popularity of the individual, rather than any political belief. Each Territory only has 1 seat each, so there's not a lot to say.
An addenda to my previous comment. It does seem that this was put together by an American with good superficial knowledge of Canada but looks at it only through an American lens. While I too am American, all of my academic work (including my Ph.D.) have been on Canadian related subjects. In measuring Canadian politics one has to drop certain American metrics about left-right and equally important, recognize that the Canadian political system and its dynamics are very different from the US. Both countries have a history of tension between the federal level and the states / provinces, but it is far more pronounced in Canada. This partly a case of simple math--50 units have less power per unit than do 10, but it is also consitutional and economic. Certain sectors in Canada are under the purview of the provinces, most notably natural resources and since the resource economy is vital to many proviices their interests can be quite different from that of Ottawa. Consultation and consensus among the provinces is an important part of the legal framework, something that does not exist in the US. While there are some sttes where the federal resp can be from one party and the state governors and/or legislatures from another, that split between prov and fed politics is far more pronounced in Canada. Several provinces have been governed by parties and ideologies that don't even have a federal counterpart. Then there are the "third rails", or more benignly, settled issues. While the health care system of Canada has recently had major problems and has become a bigger political football than it was in the past, there is a consensus across the specturm that public health care is part of the national fabric. Access to abortion, gay rights, and legalization of cannabis are similarly part of the mainstream and are settled issues regardless of ideology. That would inconceivable in the US.
Quebec is actually quite socially conservative. Economically left leaning yes, but socoally conservative. Had to stop watching.
I assumed my home Manitoba was going to be #3, and also assumed Alberta was #1. Though not surprised to be wrong on the second assumption. Alberta just has the bigger population and therefore more attention I guess.
But Manitoba while undoubtedly a center category is still a strongly Western province. The 3 prairie provinces are more united than divided, so I just assumed we had more conservative harmony than any neighbor of Quebec.
Well you have a great premier now in Manitoba who defend CANADIAN values. You feel like an Albertan? Most Manitobans I guess want to remain Canadians and not join Texas the secret dream of Alberta.
#4 Manitoba
#2 Alberta
#1Saskatchewan
Prairies continuing to show that they're the sane part of the country.
Saskatchewan is also where the very left leaning New Democratic Party was born.
Are you crazy? Manitoba is extremely conservative.
I would say that Manitoba or Winnipeg more so perhaps did not like Conservatives deciding they knew better than doctors. This is definitely not looking out for all of it’s citizens and it worries me they will decide they know better than doctors on women’s health care choices as well. I think that is why we now have an NDP government. I am praying they at least will protect all Canadians right to making their own medical decisions with their doctor. For some reason I would trust a Doctor with medical decisions over some politician that overrides human rights with a clause. I am not trying to convince anyone to vote for a specific party, I just personally couldn’t vote for a party that does these things. I guess I wasn’t alone.
@@user-lw1qy4ep1j What do you mean know better than doctors? In regards to what?
What do you mean in regards to women's health care?
The only reason the NDP won is because the PC's had an unpopular leader. The popular vote was basically split down the middle.
Quebec is a lot more socially conservative than you realize, that is why the CAQ is in power. Also using abortion as a factor is out of date, all major parties support abortion, even the conservatives
Thank you for your input. Much appreciated. Can you be more specific and provide some examples of where you think Quebecers are more socially conservative than other Canadians?
@@Opinionoasis1 Check the latest pools where Parti Québécois (PQ) would come out on top with 32 per cent support. They are not the conservatives but they are not liberals/NPD at all.
@@Opinionoasis1 Quebec city is more Conservative than Montreal.
Quebec is a socialist dump like california. Only the region of Quebec is conservative.
@@Opinionoasis1 just show your ignorance about our history ..quebec is still the most conservative place .immigrant are NOT quebecker we are know to be zenophobe for a reasons and still are .us quebecker are like japanese went it come to tradition ect .been ok with abortion is not because we are not religious is for historical reason .we loss too many women/tween girls by forcing them to birth to many children and cause a revolt .immigrant will never be a canadian or worst a quebecker to our eyes ! they are invader and "tolerate" but not by choice .
Why is individual responsibility seen as a Conservative ethic? Under conservatism, is that ethic responsible for eliminating services that have been considered essential for 70 years, like the pillaging of health care in Ontario to the point it barely functions?
..."barely functions"...under a Lieberal ethic, the government will pay for a sex-change in Alfghanistan faster then your gramma can get cancer treatment over here...
You have this exact same post under different names . Troll.
It barely functions because as a policy and approach to health care it is horrible, it can never work as it was hoped to work. We need a parallel private health care system in Canada like most other developed countries.
Why dont you talk about the 30 billion dollars a year alberta pays to quebec.
Exactly why I support Wexit. Basically it’s Leftist Eastern Canada and BC leaching off Conservative Alberta.
where that money ? im from quebec and we dont have public service we dont even have a return ticket for the bus ect ...it very poor here all that cash dont go to the citizen so stop blaming quebecker ! the gouvement is puting that cash in thier own bank account and laundering it else where like ukraine or other similar shit hole
That's just completely false,Quebec receives about 14 Billions a year in equalization and if you include that Quebec also contributes to that it means that Quebec receives about 11 billion in equalization. From that Alberta pays like roughly 3-4 billion.
It's also very important to consider that Alberta received far more in the past decades then it has given to the federal governement. It's a recent phenomenon due to the oil price going up that Alberta suddenly started to pay a lot more.
@@charlolel The Statistics Canada numbers also show Quebec benefitted most from the equalization program, raking in $107.5 billion.
@@EternallyGod You said ''the 30 billion a year that ALBERTA pays''. The 107 billion figure is misleading at best you should pay attention to the article, the 107 billion is over a period of 11 years not 1 year. Imagine 100 billion a year that would be insane... and that comes to about 9 billion a year which is far less then the 30 billion you claim.
I dunno. I think it's more of an urban / rural thing, to be honest. BC at #9? The Lower Mainland, for sure, but the interior? Not so much. While here in good old Alberta, we don't elect city councils so much as we elect politburos. Cases in point being the current dumpster fires in both Calgary and Edmonton; each of which would feel right at home in 1960s Leningrad.
This is opinionated propaganda.
Did you even read the name of this CZcams channel?
What about our 3 Territories? Without including them, you are behaving like the present highly devisive Liberal/NDP coalition regime who frequently ignores them unless they can be manipulated for political gain. Canada is not JUST the 10 provinces. You must do better, sir!

I would love to include the three Territories in any analysis. Please rest assured that they were not deliberately excluded or overlooked. The reality, however, is that there isn’t much public opinion data upon which statistically significant findings can be derived for the Territories. Their populations are too small. In most national surveys, sample sizes for the Territories are insufficient to draw any meaningful conclusions.
I would have thought Alberta, Canada's armpit, to be #1
it also has canada's most visited national parks. while parts of alberta qualify as canada's armpits, it also has canada's nice big boobies.
