In Canada, Whistler and Banff are left of center communities and strong areas of support for the Green Party.

Whistler and Banff are the big ones, I decided to look at Mont-Tremblant, a favourite for Montreal and Ottawa residents alike. Federally the town itself went for the Bloc, the Laurentians are a pretty nationalist region. But the resort areas went heavily Liberal even in 2019 when the Liberals were weak in rural Quebec. Provincially it was a mix of Liberal/PQ/CAQ, but since the riding that contains it was a solid CAQ/PQ race, with the Liberals coming 4th place overall, one can conclude this is a fairly Liberal-leaning area. Greens were a non-factor, federally or provincially.

So this doesn't really suggest an environmentalist or left lean, but it does suggest a fair number of transplants from Montreal living and working there and backing the Liberals. Similar dynamic as American and anglo-Canadian ski towns, it just plays out differently within Quebec's weird political divide.

Quebec's weird divides might also explain why Green politics haven't been as ascendant in the province as they have elsewhere.
