Rural Canadaians and Americans: Pretty conservative
Urban Canadians or Americans: Pretty liberal
The difference, in my opinion, is in the suburbs and exurbs. Some of the most fertile ground for Republican BS is in places like Phoenix, Orange County, the Philly suburbs, northern Virginia, and in pretty much every suburban area in the South. These regions routinely vote in people who are way, way, way to the right of anyone who could get even close to being elected in, say, the 905 or Lower Mainland (or the Montreal suburbs). The "middle" in Canada is much further left than it is in the US.
And anyone who does not believe that just needs to read the national news pages in the Times for a week.
