This can easily be explained for two reasons. The island is fairly homogenous so votes are fairly evenly distributed across the island, by contrast, most provinces are far more mixed in their voting patterns. Also both parties are more or less in the centre of the political spectrum so it becomes more about the person than their ideology. The PCs in Atlantic Canada are more like the PCs were back under Joe Clark and Robert Stanfield, not the present day Conservatives, while the Liberals are fairly centrist like their federal counterparts, not as left wing as they were under Trudeau.
