Regional profile

Rural Manitoba is, for the most part, a strongly conservative area (especially on social issues), though it becomes far less strident the further one gets from the U.S. border. The rural portions of southern Manitoba are similar to the rural portions of the Central United States, as well as rural portions of Saskatchewan and Alberta. Not only are they heavily agricultural, but they are some of the most religious areas in Canada. The Conservatives hold all five rural ridings in the south, with their largest margins of victory in the three ridings on the U.S. border. The Liberals swept the region in 1993, and managed to hold on to two ridings here in 1997. However, they have barely been on the radar screen since the turn of the millennium.

Northern Manitoba is home to only one riding: Churchill—Keewatinook Aski (formerly Churchill, from 1935 until 2015), which has been in NDP hands for all but six years since 1979. Former NDP MP Bev Desjarlais lost the nomination to Niki Ashton in 2006 and ran unsuccessfully as an independent; the Liberals were able to pick up Churchill with star candidate Tina Keeper. Ashton reclaimed Churchill for the NDP in the next election in 2008, however, and has continued to represent it since then.
