Thank you Albert, Sacul and Grace, for your warm welcome.
To be clear, I am technically Canadian but Yukoners are their own breed.

So you're like the Canadian version of a Texan?

We are a very snowy Texas.
One of the most popular "Yukon nationalist" (yes, that's a thing) anthems is After Yukon, which was a remake of the song After Texas.

In terms of strictly cowboy culture, however, Alberta would be Canadian Texas. Calgary, the largest city, is called the Stampede City and the province is known for its beef, oil and conservatism.

C’mon, JayDee! We barely make noise and bother. And we don’t even talk about hockey nor the CFL. Once we start discussing about forcing all government and parliament documents to be en français or make the Red Lion to become, god forbid, a Timmies, you can start thinking we are too many. To add to the awesome explanation made by George, the most conservative areas are the Prairies, rather than the North. I think of the Yukon like a colder version of the Wild West, only suitable for adventurous pioneers, famous for its gold, its landscape and its potatoes.
The Canadian Texas is definitely Alberta and some zones of Saskatchewan (where, curiously, the leftist party NDP and universal healthcare were born) and especially the city of Calgary, where the previous PM Stephen Harper is from.

Funny- in real Texas we have the Canadian River.
I for one am thrilled to discover the existence of more Texases. The world needs as much Texas as it can get, just without so much conservatism and with a little more healthcare.

Great explanation. Yukon definitely doesn't fit neatly into the left-right spectrum. I think that's true of the North in general.
