This idea seems to stem largely from the idea that the loyalists that got kicked out and moved to places like Ontario were more conservative than the Founding Fathers. Whatever the truth of that Canadians are far more likely to support Democrats than Republicans when polled on our elections.

"The explicit notion of a "Red" Toryism was developed by Gad Horowitz in the 1960s, who argued that there was a significant Tory ideology in Canada.[5] This vision contrasted Canada with the United States, which was seen as lacking this collectivist tradition because it was expunged from the American political culture after the American Revolution and the exodus of the United Empire Loyalists."

Notably, John Diefenbaker, the Canadian leader the US was involved in undermining, is said to have been a red tory.

I would say it's the same as Americans. The bigger the city, the more liberal they become. And since the biggest portion of Canadians live in the cesspool called Toronto, it would look like Canadians over all are more liberal.
