The study lists the shared cultural interests among supporters of each major political party in Canada. While it isn’t all that scientifically or statistically significant — findings were based on how many people who “like” a political party on Facebook are also fans of a given movie, book, musician, etc. — it does offer some interesting insights into who likes what in Canada, said Kevin Chan, Facebook’s head of public policy in Canada.

“This was a fun way to show where there could be differences and where there could be similarities between parties,” he said.

Conservative supporters on Facebook are rather unique in their shared interests, compared to Liberals, New Democrats, and Green Party supporters, who find consensus in a number of categories, according to the study.
