This sort of research doesn't really tell us anything because they were looking for the horrible search terms and just matching them to the provinces. Of course they're going to get a bunch of horrible search terms to match up with every province if you're already looking for them.

Correct. They looked up the terms, and then checked to see which Provinces looked those terms up the most.
The whole point of the article wasn't "Popular searches" but, out of all this stuff, who leads each category. As in, "Which province is most interested in pregnant porn?"
I don't think you should worry much about the research telling you anything. It's just meant to be funny. It's pretty obvious.
