Something that's weird to me is how the territories in Canada all have liberal or social-democratic MPs yet Alaska leans heavily to the right. Why is that?

@AppleAmps because alaska has such a low population density and there are only like 50k people there, also not diverse at all

Ok yeah but that also goes for the territories! If anything I'm pretty sure Nunavut, NWT, and Yukon have even lower population density, but their elected representatives are all left of center.

@AppleAmps they also don’t have universal healthcare to convince them to be liberal ig

@AppleAmps @FawnOverFun I mean, it makes sense for the first nations people to be more left leaning, given that left leaning politicians are generally more understanding to the issues they face over the right leaning ones

@solonovamax @AppleAmps you could say that if america was more left leaning too, left leaning politics is more understanding of all real issues because right wing politics is like- β€œthe trans people are about to KILL your child and make YOU Gay.” or whatever, not based in reality at all

Yeah, I guess that's it, Alaska is a lot whiter than NWT and Nunavut so despite geographic and cultural similarities that's probably why they're more conservative. Same percentage of European descendants as Yukon, though, so there are probably other factors at play.

If it makes you feel any better as far as I'm concerned both of you are gringos in equal measure.
