Canadians Say Quebec Is Their Least Favorite Province Poll

According to a recent Leger-Postmedia poll, 21 percent of respondents ranked Quebec first for their least favorite province, beating out Alberta, which garnered 10 percent in the unpopularity contest.
Nunavut, Saskatchewan and Ontario came next.  However, the most popular response was “prefer not to answer,” at 24 percent.
According to the company’s demographic analysis, three in ten Atlantic residents said Quebec was their least favorite, along with 31 per cent of people in the prairies, and a quarter of Ontario and B.C. residents.

The poll also asked respondents to give a reason for their disdain. While other provinces were docked for the cost of living, supposed safety or lack of things, Quebec found itself disliked for something more personal: the people. When asked “what is it about this province/territory that makes it your least favorite?” 49 percent of respondents noted “the people.” Alberta and Ontario also lost points for their population. Although it is more popular than Quebec, 47 per cent cited “the people” as the main reason for disliking Alberta, and 30 per cent said the same for Ontario. Further down the list, 17 percent of people said Quebec was too expensive, while 15 percent said they “don’t know anyone there.” Quebec was ranked the least favorite province among Canadians in the rest of Canada (poll image: Leger)

“THREAT TO NATIONAL UNITY”

Three in 10 respondents also felt that Quebec posed a “very serious threat” to national unity.  About two in ten said it was not a serious threat.  The same percentage said they did not know.
Alberta was also particularly threatening, according to respondents.
Sixteen percent said that province was a “very serious threat.”

SO WHO IS THE FAVORITE?

It was a landslide victory for British Columbia with three in ten per cent of respondents naming it their favorite province outside their own.
Alberta came next with 12 percent of the vote, followed by Nova Scotia (10 percent), Ontario (10 percent), PEI and New Brunswick, and then Quebec.
Just six percent of respondents said Quebec was their favorite.
Within Quebec, two in ten people said New Brunswick was their favorite.  Outside of Quebec, just 3% answered this way.
Canada’s apparent jewel, BC, scored highly in geography and scenery (65 per cent) and nature and wildlife (60 per cent).
Quebec, on the other hand, did well in the arts and culture and history categories.
Interestingly, 21 percent of respondents said Quebec was their favorite because of “the people,” beating BC by about 10 percent.
Leger’s poll was completed by about 1,500 Canadians.  Most of them were from Ontario (39 per cent), while others came from Quebec (23 per cent), B.C.  six percent).
