The U.S. is just way more socially conservative than Canada, pretty much across the board.

Please explain electing Danielle Smith. These are not numbers that should ever result in a 'Smith' type as premier, correct? Or these are polling numbers that are pretty much useless when it comes to who forms the government?
Because of you look at an AB political map it looks almost exactly like an Illinois map. A couple bright blue areas surrounded by a sea of red. And yet Illinois is always one of the more progressive states.
So I guess that's what it shows - even the most 'progressive' states lag significantly behind Canada's least progressive provinces?
