When Canadians are asked which province, they like the best, other than the one they live in, British Columbia is far and away the winner. As for which province they like the least, other than the one they live in, it’s Quebec as the frontrunner.
Alberta is second on both lists. Seems we can’t make up our minds on the Wild Rose Province.
A poll of 1,516 Canadians conducted between Aug. 19-21 by Leger for Postmedia found that most of us would choose B.C. as our favourite part of the country. A total of 30% of Canadians selected B.C. as their favourite other part of the country at the high end while Manitoba was the lowest-ranking province with just 1% selecting it and 0% chose Nunavut.
The main reason we are attracted to British Columbia? It’s the scenery, obviously, with 51% saying geography and landscape are the factors that attract us followed by 42% who say nature and wildlife or 27% who say it is more laid back.
While B.C. is the first choice of next-best province, the second choice at 12% is Alberta followed by Nova Scotia and Ontario at 10% and Prince Edward Island at 8%. Just 6% chose Quebec, which is also the least favourite province.
Quebec was chosen as the least favourite province by 21% of the country followed by Alberta at 10%. The main reason people gave for not liking either place was the same, they didn’t like the people.
Of those who said Quebec was their least favourite place, 49% cited the people of the province while 47% of those who said Alberta was their least favorite province said the same. Among the 8% who said Saskatchewan was their least favourite, 60% claimed the province was boring.
Manitoba was also seen as boring by 59% of those who didn’t like it while Ontario was cited as being too hectic and not relaxing by 36% of those who said it was their least favourite province.
