Every single province in Canada has their own fringe that makes the rest of the province embarrassed. BC has their hippy, eco-loons. Quebec has the separatism and xenophobia wing (and I don't even know that I'd classify that as "fringe" there). Ontario has their weird, redneck bush loons (BC has these, too). The Atlantic provinces have had some serious racism issues over the years, etc., etc.

Sometimes surveys like this are done simply to stir up regional divide in Canada. It sells papers, and it gets clicks. It's also fairly likely that it's a survey done primarily in urban centres for these provinces. If there were a lot of Northern BC respondents, it would show a different picture. That area makes Alberta look like a San Francisco commune.
