The Mountain Provinces? The Atlantic Northeast?

Bermuda was once part of Virginia as well. There's actually a place in Virginia southeast of Richmond, near Hopewell, called Bermuda Hundred.

Not saying they do. Most people don’t live right next to the Rockies. My point is that you don’t have to dedicate the day to go to the mountains from Calgary, unless you plan on doing a 6 hour hike, or go tour around Banff.

Agreed, and having to leave the house at 05:30 in the mornings in order to be at work at 9 am sounds absolutely horrible to me :p

That'd be because the "Pacific Southwest" is in Chile.

I would say the vast majority of British Columbians ( out side the capital region and Vancouver ) line up politically and day to day life more with Alberta then the coastal area of our own province. You look at a map how people vote in BC ferally and you'll get a better idea.

Kind up supprised about the NDP coverage in the great empty region of BC though.

We have representation by population, not representation by land area.

The "vast majority" of British Columbians live in Greater Vancouver and Greater Victoria.

I'm sure Trump-voting counties constitute most of the land area of Illinois - so what?

So a minority of British Colombians, no?

Their histories, economies and political cultures are vastly different.

This is copium, the vast majority of BCers (80%) live in the progressive coastal areas

Furthermore vote splitting in BC is more of a think than Alberta, even rural BC areas tend to vote less conservative than CALGARY does
Kelowna is less conservative voting than Calgary, thats insanity to me
Rural interior BC votes like rural southern ontario, not like Alberta

[Docere]

And if we're judging by the coloration of the map (as well as voting patterns) Alberta is far, far more similar to Saskatchewan than it is to BC.

Rural alberta and sask go like 70% conservative, BC equivalents go like 45% conservative
To say these are the same is insanity. BC voting patterns are far more normie than the prairies even in rural interior BC.

Only in Alberta and Saskatchewan (our "red states") does a majority vote of the electorate vote for parties to the right of the Liberal Party of Canada.

CPC + PPC vote, 2021:

Saskatchewan 65.6%
Alberta 62.7%
Manitoba 46.8%
Ontario 40.4%
New Brunswick 39.7%
British Columbia 38.1%
Newfoundland 34.9%
Prince Edward Island 34.8%
Nova Scotia 33.4%
Quebec 21.3%

Earth is getting warmer because of human activity

PEI 73%
Nova Scotia 67%
Quebec 67%
New Brunswick 64%
BC 61%
Ontario 60%
Manitoba 57%
Saskatchewan 47%
Alberta 42%

Kelowna, a "redneck" town for BC and the largest city in the BC Interior votes to the Left of Calgary and slightly more right of Edmonton. I used the Election Atlas riding builder function to get these maps.
Combine centre-right in the 3 metros in 2021 are as follows
Calgary 59%

Kelowna 54%

Edmonton 49%

Lol, Not claiming Alberta to be a “mountain province” whatever that really means? Unless it means of course the province of Alberta has mountains within its boundaries, then yes it would, unless in your opinion Alberta doesn’t have the Rocky Mountains?

Yes, Alberta is also a prairie province, but, technically, if we are judging by geographical features, it should be called a boreal forest province, considering it makes up 60% of the area

Alberta has a thin sliver of the rockies and like none of the population lives in them.
BC is a mountain Province. Not only is the entire provinces basically mountains, but we actually live in them and are a core part of BC identity.
Alberta is known for being flat. You have banff and Jasper but barely. Calling yourself a mountain province is copium, sorry but it is

[Hackslack]

Oh I see what the game is here now. Yes I would agree with you. Albertans are not mountain people like BC are mountain people.

I'd say the responses also correlate with certain types of religious beliefs.

It's essentially a matter of what they identify with, so if you look at a normal Google search result, you will find that mountains are a big part of Alberta's identity.
