This is interesting, but I felt the measures used aren’t right. It’s to be expected that a leader who’s antagonising your country would be disliked, even when their ideology is similar to yours.
To be able to compare well enough in the little time I have in my busy life, I had to go by a methodology that is not perfect but allows some comparison. It’s the Political Compass.
I have to go now but I’ll try later to find the proportion of Albertan voterd who voted for the Conservative party.
EDIT: 63,5% of Albertan voters voted for the CPC. It’s still hard to compare that statistic to the proportion of Californian voters who voted for Trump, but my feeling is that California isn’t far removed from Alberta, perhaps it is even left of Alberta.

According to this site, during the 2025 federal elections, the Conservative party was 8,7 (economic scale and social scale respectively), while Trump was 9,9 during the last presidential elections. It means Trump is to the right of the Conservative party, but not by a lot.
