    That’s wild, I only really notice Manitoba during federal elections where, as far as I recall, conservatives have generally won. Any idea why the two differ? Or am I completely out to lunch?

      Back in the day Saskabush and Manitoba were traditionally NDP, because they’re both farm-based economies and the NDP developed out of the CCF.

      In the 80’s both provinces started a swing to the right so PC’s became the provincial alternate.

        Right, I completely forgot the NDP origin story! Thank you!
