Regional profile

Rural Manitoba is, for the most part, a strongly conservative area (especially on social issues), although it turns more liberal the farther north you go. The most conservative areas are in the southern parts, which are similar to the rural portions of the Central United States; heavily agricultural and some of the most religious areas in Canada. The Conservatives hold all five rural ridings of southern Manitoba, with the largest margins of victory in the ridings near the U.S. border. Once into northern Manitoba (home to only one riding - Churchill), the NDP had held it for many years under Bev Desjarlais, but she lost the nomination in 2006 and ran unsuccesfuly as an independent; the Liberals were able to pick up Churchill with star candidate Tina Keeper.
