I think PEI might be the best-run province (partly easy because it's on a more "human" scale closer to voters), and it shows that it's not just about urban vs. rural with large cities being the only possible successful areas.
For rural areas, the near South Shore of NS, Annapolis Valley, and Hants/Colchester are all pretty good too. Not sure about NB or NL. It mostly happens to come down to agriculture vs. no agriculture, or beyond that having agriculture plus other economic activity (like still-working factories or tourism and a fishery). The most vulnerable areas are resource-based towns built around one operation like a pulp mill or a mine.
