Turn out in municipal elections is historically a lot lower than other levels of government. Which is probably part of the reason the UCP tied the Transfer Payment referendum to civic elections as a quasi GOTV strategy.
I also think provinically there are lot of 10 second Tories. Who will hold their nose and vote for them for a myriad of reasons
