Why don't we ask the Vote Compass 2011?

If we take Corporate tax favorability as an indication of economic conservatism (or at least neoliberal views) than McLeod (C) in Alberta appears to be the most economically right wing, with Don Valley West (C) coming in for second.  The most in BC appears to be Langley (C)or Delta-Richmond East (C). In Sask, it appears to be Souris-Moose Mountain (C). MB: Provencher (C) In Quebec it appears to be Lac-Saint-Louis (L). MB: Tobique-Mactaquac (C), NS: Halifax West (L), NL - St. John's East (NDP, wut?)

Going the opposite, the ridings that demand corporations pay higher tax rates appears to be somewhere in Quebec, I can't tell. It might be Papineau (L) or Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie (NDP). 

Outside Quebec, it's definitely Vancouver East (NDP) or Davenport (NDP). 

By Province:
Alberta- Edmonton Strathcona (NDP)
Sask. - Desnethé--Missinippi--Churchill River (C)
MB -Winnipeg Centre (NDP)
NB - Beausejour (L), Moncton (C), or Acadie Bathurst (NDP)
NS - Sidney-Victoria (L)
NL - Avalon (L), Random--Burin--St. George's(L), or St. John's South-Mt. Perl (NDP)

SOCIAL Liberalism

Using abortion as our proxy, the most abortionest riding appears to be Laurier--Sainte-Marie (NDP), closely followed by a host of urban ridings around the country. 

by Province

BC: Vancouver East (NDP)
AB: Calgary Centre (C)
SK: Wascana (L)
MB: Winnipeg Centre (NDP)
ON: Davenport (?, NDP)
NB: Fredericton (C)
NS: Halifax (NDP)
NL: St. John's East (NDP)

The most anti-abortion riding is obviously Provencher (C)

BC: Abbotsford (C)
AB: Vegreville--Wainwright (C)
SK: Cypress Hills--Grasslands (C)
ON: somewhere in SW ONtario, it might even be a Windsor riding or Essex
QC: Beauce (C) no competition
NB: Miramichi (C), but might just be St John (C) (can't quite see)
NS: Cape Breton-Canso (L)
NL Bonavista--Gander--Grand Falls--Windsor (L)

I'm just trying to read the map. Vote compass is annoyingly non-transparent

Leamington ON  31.7% (Chatham-Kent-Essex)
Lacombe AB  31.7% (Wetaskiwin)
Kentville NS  31.3% (Kings-Hants)
Abbotsford BC  28.3% (Abbotsford)

Swift Current SK  26.3% (Cypress Hill-Grasslands)
Fredericton NB 24.4% (Fredericton)
Norfolk ON  21.6% (Haldimand-Norfolk)
High River AB  21.6% (Macleod)
Sylvan Lake AB  20.9% (Red Deer)
Brooks AB  20.8% (Medicine Hat)

I wouldn't have guessed that Salmon Arm was so evangelical

We're talking about some very rural populations here, so focusing on "census agglomerations", which require a population centre of at least 10,000, will miss out on some of the main locations.

But also, the issues TheDeadFlagBlues was noting don't go away even when we restrict ourselves to "social conservatism". These religious agricultural communities in southwestern Ontario often have complicated or even negative relationships with the military and monarchy, which are important to the kind of traditional Anglo-Canadian cultural conservatism that is strong in eastern Ontario. Note that the Afghanistan/military questions on Vote Compass appear to show the reverse pattern, with eastern Ontario taking the more "conservative" position. It's not clear how exactly to weight things like this.

That would explain the traditional Liberal support in the region
