Rural Ontario certainly does have fundamentalist and evangelical Christians, but not quite to the same degree as Alberta from what I've seen and heard.
There are actually quite a few evangelical churches in urban and especially suburban areas in Canada. I find that the rural conservative ones tend to be mostly in agricultural regions. But I've been to conservative churches in places like Ottawa, GTA, London, Guelph and Kitchener and you'll find people who are just as conservative as those in rural ones.

Having attended a couple evangelical churches in the past, I've learned that many people who attend them aren't politically or socially conservative. Yes there are a number who are but in private conversations you learn that not everybody agrees with what is preached on Sundays and at bible study.

Irreligious Canadians include atheists, agnostics, and humanists.



Given the socio-political discussions we have been having, I can almost picture some people jerking off at those numbers for Quebec.

Though they'd still be reading it wrong.

True, but the urban ones are leavened by the rest of the urban population.

They certainly form a critical mass in the US bible belt though, even if there are detractors in the minority, and I've heard from various sources that they do in rural Alberta as well.

You don't really get that sense around here, though. There are billboards featuring bible verses and anti-abortion messages, but not to the sort of degree you see in the rural US south. Or, from what I've been told, in rural Alberta.

Ontario's massive Muslim population would also contribute several percentage points to its religious demographic.

Results of the Great Prohibition Referendum of 1898

This was a non binding referendum promised by Sir Wilfred Laurier as part of his election campaign that year.

The question:

Quote:
“Are you in favour of the passing of an Act prohibiting the importation, manufacture or sale of spirits, wine, ale, beer, cider and all other alcoholic liquors for use as beverage?”


Even in 1898, the Two Solitudes were in opposition to one another.

They have a good discussion of the results of the referendum here.

I'm sure that Northern Ontario voted like Quebec.

Likely similar to the other Atlantic provinces.

Newfoundland is not like the Maritimes. Historically they are really two quite different regions, with moderately dissimilar origins and culture.

I betcha NL would have voted "no", just like Quebec, but not quite to the same degree.

I'm not surprised the highest proportion in favour of prohibition was on PEI. They passed their own prohibition bill in 1901 and it was not finally repealed until 1948 - the very last jurisdiction in North America to do so. Of course, this made the local moonshiners on PEI very popular. Even in the 1960s, when I was growing up, moonshining was still an honourable occupation in pockets of rural PEI. Usually the moonshiners lived well out in the country in very small houses, but tended to have very large cars.

NS had almost as great a "yes" vote as PEI. Although NS repealed prohibition considerably earlier than PEI, they left the issue up to local municipalities to decide if they wanted to maintain it locally. I believe there are still a couple of rural municipalities in NS which are still nominally "dry".............

They voted "yes" some years later ... More a Catholic vs Protestant vote than anything else, istm.

The city of Steinbach Manitoba was "dry" until 2004. Here is a funny story about the RM of Hanover that just assumed it was dry until someone actually looked at the statutes and couldn't find anything!

In the sense of this becoming a symbolic rallying point for each group to assert its distinctiveness vis-à-vis the other, as opposed to really really strong sincere feelings about alcohol (yea or nay)?
