One of the major things the WRP brought up, Property Rights, is indeed a much greater issue for the rural voters as opposed to urban, specifically Bills 16, 24, 36 & 50 (link from Vermilion Standard giving a basic outline of the issue). It created a big stir with land owners but seems to have barely made a ripple with urban dwellers. I'm wondering if that is because there are more renters in the city, people are generally more mobile, or some other reason. In any respect, it created a deep divide.
