Canadian politics : why is Quebec City so conservative?

[DL]

Sometimes capital cities can be more polarized...everyone who is not a civil servant is envious and ends of hating the civil service! In Quebec City the inner city seats where all the government buildings are - tend to vote left...just as in Ottawa you don't see Tories winning in Ottawa vanier or Ottawa Centre...the suburbs are a different story - but suburban Ottawa is also surprisingly conservative and there are PC MPPs sitting in Queens Park from suburban Ottawa...but you never see PCs winning equivalent seats in suburban Toronto
