In any event, I think that, as long as climate change, immigration, and tax policy are right-left issues, Ontario is not as centre-right as you think. Especially in the larger cities.

Center/right definitely does NOT include social conservatism. Well, in current context anyway. Of course the lines can change over time, but the primary categorizations are economic conservatism and social conservatism. Social conservatism is widely viewed as 'far right'. And those that are more socially progressive are usually called progressive conservatives, or Red Tories in the old days, or more center/right.
