Alberta and Saskatchewan are the only provinces where the Conservative and right-wing vote is over 50% in federal elections.  In Manitoba it's usually in the mid-40s and is the most "balanced" province between progressive and conservative forces in federal elections.  60% of the population of Manitoba lives in Winnipeg, the most progressive city in the Prairies that mostly votes Liberal/NDP.  It has some very conservative rurals though.
Two thirds of the population of AB live in Calgary and Edmonton.

It also depends on your definition of "more".

If you mean how conservative the majority of conservatives are, I think the answer is clearly the US south. I dont really see that many in the prairies denying basic science and history.

But if you mean where the majority of people are conservative (by whichever threshold you set), Canada's prairies might be more conservative.  A southern state might have lots of blacks who are not as far on the right - its just the whites who are super conservative.

Southern blacks are actually quite conservative on issues like Abortion, LGBT, etc. They vote D mostly because of racial polarization, and prefer moderate than progressive D candidates.

True.  But Calgary is the most conservative major city in Canada.
I am curious if Calgary is the most conservative metro with over 1 million population in North America, and if so, why.
