You would never get this impression from the CBC and Toronto media, but the Canadian prairies are less socially Conservative than Ontario and Quebec.  Go check StatsCan - fewer Western Canadians go to church per capita than provinces to the east.  Let's also not forget that Saskatchewan originated the NDP and pioneered public health care.   Saskatchewan already had Sunday shopping for years back when Toronto gas stations were still closed on Sunday.  It is good to step out of Toronto on occasion and learn about your country.
