How would you rank Canadian provinces/territories, from most leftwing to most rightwing?

If Quebec is so left-wing, why does it keep electing right-wing provincial administrations?

Al is right. Anti-Toryism =/= left wing. Heck some of CAQ and the Bloc's most recent platforms had promises that wouldn't be that out of place in a Front National campaign.

There's a superficial school of analysis that sees Francophone, nationalist Quebecers rejecting the historically Anglo-Protestant chauvinist Tories and takes that as proof that they are left wing, or God forbid, part of the Progressive Alliance^TM with the Trudeau family, despite the two being at each other's throats much of the time.

Instead we should dig a little deeper and recognize that while the language and cultural polarization of Quebec politics within Canada means that most Quebecers will reject the mostly Anglo Tories, there are still significant swathes of Quebec society that could be meaningfully called right wing.

* For some inexplicable reason I had to go to French Wikipedia to get these popular vote results by province - they are literally nowhere else _{wiki et médias anglaises de tabarnak}

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Results_of_the_2019_Canadian_federal_election

It's there under the Results Overview tab. For some reason the English wiki editors decided to shunt off basic information like provincial results on a seperate page

So annoying of them to do that.

* Yes, some PC governments were rather moderate, but ultimately they were always centre-right at best. Some also say that Social Credit's right-wingedness in their early days is debatable, which is probably bullsh*t: they were most notable for syncretic economic policies, authoritarianism and anti-semitism, which may or may not make them fascist, but doesn't make them any less right-wing.

I chalk this up to our collective amnesia about any sort of conservatism that existed before the free market and free trade turn of the 1980's. See also, pundits' puzzled reaction to Erin O'Toole saying things that John Diefenbaker, or even R.B. Bennett wouldn't bat an eye at.
