In electoral studies, the Quebec region is a total mystery. Since the 1970s, it elects way more conservative representatives from different parties than the rest of the province. Many scholars have tried to solve this puzzle, but none of them are able to propose an explanation for the conservatives’ popularity in the region of the capital. This research revisits previous models of explanation and provides useful tests to analyze some relationships that might help to solve the mystery. Results are not congruent to previous propositions. However, they indicate that people from the Quebec region are considering themselves more rightist than the rest of Quebec and are less favourable to economic redistribution. Nevertheless, it is demonstrated that looking at values and attitudes of the entire population is not the key to the mystery. The most fruitful explanation stresses the fact that contrary to the rest of Quebec, the poorest are not at the economic left of richer individuals.
