British Columbia, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador & New Brunswick are the most progressive provinces that are the safest.

Quebec is trending progressive in the provincial polls and the Poilierve conservatives couldn't appeal to them according to the federal polls so they're proving to be smartest in that aspect.

Historically Quebec, British Columbia and Ontario are the most most progressive provinces meanwhile the most conservative are Alberta and Saskatchewan.

I just want to pop in to say that BC just had its provincial election a few weeks ago and narrowly avoided electing a batshit crazy fascist fringe party by a razor-thin margin. BC might be more progressive on paper but we still fall into the exact same traps that get populist fascists like Trump elected.

Doesn't help that our voter turnout is pathetic and, generally, progressive-minded people don't vote.

progressive-minded people don’t vote.

Part of the reason is strategic voting because of first-past-the-post not giving a voice to underrepresented communities in our province. People want to vote for their favourite parties not just the two big ones so they dont bother in the end.

That’s very helpful. Thank you!

My French is terrible, so I’d have to whittle that list down a bit. It’s a great start though.
