Here's the map of Canada following the recent Tory victory. Interestingly, the map is mostly red (the Liberal Party's color) because the Liberals carried the large northern territories (I presume they are populated by primarily Indian populations, which follow the same voting patterns as here).
Jesusland North consists of the middle swathe from western BC to southern Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Jesusland also seems to include a few pockets in southern Ontario and New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. So, Jesusland is a pretty contiguous land across middle North America save for those small islands. I wish I knew more about Canadian politics - I wonder what the political leanings of the Bloc Quebecois are - my initial guess is that they are socially conservative but basically socialist in outlook (like the French parts of Maine).
Personally, I'd like to welcome the Canadians into the political mainstream of the Anglosphere. At least the Canadians should be on our side now in the war on terror.

I had a friend named Lars from Canada who happens to be a conservative living in Alberta. Met him through an exchange program while I was in high school. He himself is a conservative (in 2000, he said he would've voted for Pat Buchanan, so that should give you a clue). Canadian politics are like the 90s of the US. Until now of course. Most minorities vote Liberal as well.
Quebec are just like French - a bunch of Socialists - they are pretty much the "US Green Party" of Canada.
I don't know, I think there's been years in Canada where they were getting sick of the health care costs (they DO resort to universal), HIGH taxes, etc. Just liberal policies took over and it took its toll. The new guy in charge will actually have a rough time because the damage's been done by Martin.
