Recent poll of Canadians, taken with a pinch of salt but nonetheless:

How likely would you be to vote for a party if its leader were:
From Quebec
Less likely: 22% More likely: 13%
From Western Canada
Less likely: 10% More likely: 20%

This suggests that a majority of people don't give a sh!t where a party leader is from, but being from Quebec could cost a leader a net loss in votes while being from the West will create a net gain in votes.


Do you strongly agree, agree, disagree or strongly disagree with the following statement:
Gays and lesbians should be allowed to get married.
Favour/agree: 57%
Oppose/disagree: 38%
Don't know: 4%

Percentage who agree by region
Quebec: 66%
Ontario: 57%
West: 54%
Atlantic: 49%
Youth: 77%

That first question is curious, given the last 4 PMs to win an election were from Quebec going back over twenty years. As you said, take it with a pinch of salt.
