Eastern Ontario is generally know for it's more conservative views. For the Ontario PC party leadership race in 2009, Hillier, the more conservative candidate of the race got most of his support in Eastern Ontario.
The exception is some Ottawa neighbourhood, Prescott Russel. A region with more francophone than the other parts of the region.
Kingston is itself fairly liberals, since it is Eastern Ontario second largest city. Another interesting fact, Kingston never voted for the Ontario Progressive Conservatives since 1985.
