Support for the idea is highest in Alberta, at 15 per cent, and lowest in Atlantic Canada at just three per cent, with fewer than one-in-10 people in Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia wanting it.

About 18 per cent of Conservative supporters said they want Canada to become a U.S. state, while 97 per cent of Liberal and NDP voters, and 94 per cent of Bloc supporters said they would not want that.

15% are supportive?! wtf?

[–] stankmut@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

It was 85% no, 9% yes. Article didn't mention what the remaining % meant, but probably a 'I don't know'.

I'm actually kinda surprised that the Bloc voters didn't have the highest percent.
