No specific province is mentioned as having voted against leaving Canada, indicating that the article may be more about engaging readers with Canadian trivia rather than reporting concrete political actions by any particular region.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
