I heard something about a poll stating that President Bush was actually more popular in the Atlantic Provinces than in Alberta or any place else in Canada. I don't know if its true so if somebody could confirm or deny this that would be great.

I've spent twenty minutes looking and I still cannot find that poll, but I have seen it and it does exist, and its results were as you say.

"Popular" is a bad word to use, though.  He still lost by something like a 30- to 40-point margin.

I am working on this right now, and found the poll.

I was going to make a map, but I am too lazy. Weighted, the results would be:

Alberta
Kerry 63%
Bush 37%

Atlantic Provinces
Kerry 64%
Bush 36%

British Columbia
Kerry 75%
Bush 25%

Manitoba
Kerry 59%
Bush 41%

Ontario
Kerry 74%
Bush 26%

Quebec
Kerry 86%
Bush 14%

Saskatchewan
Kerry 59%
Bush 41%

It does not mention the northern provinces, but I assume they would be somewhere around 75-25 or 80-20.

Proud Liberal: I'm not sure if it extends to the Republican Party, but Bush is not popular. I think it's clear from above that other than a shot at the central provinces (maybe) and a shot at perhaps one of the Atlantic provinces if one of them is much closer (maybe), it would be a 100% Democratic country in every single province.

Maybe I am wrong at this - a Canuck (or know-it-all foreigner from another country) can correct me if so.

EDIT: Of course, this does not take into account that most central provincers would be more likely to vote Bush if they knew more about him, I'd bet - some just do not like his imperialism. On economic issues, they would probably lean Bush some, and social issues they would lean Kerry some.
