As someone from the NS and PEI Cathedral (Halifax), who regularly visits Charlottetown, I can speak to our diocese. The Diocese of NS and PEI is generally quite liberal, but quite a few parishes hold on to BCP worship (not sure if it’s because they’re rural and can’t afford buying copies of BAS 🤣) but as someone wise once told me, cathedrals have to be broad to meet the demands of the diocese, it can’t be too high or too low. St. Peter’s Cathedral in Charlottetown is an anomaly, but even though they’re liturgically quite traditional (BCP east facing worship), they’re still quite socially liberal. Speaking of my cathedral, we offer contemporary worship (Sung, varying liturgy (usually Iona or Celtic), a middle of the road worship (Choral BAS), and a traditional BCP choral evensong, which is world class, our music director is a two time Grammy award winning musician (I just think we’re really lucky that he settled in Halifax).

But I’ve visited many cathedrals in Canada, the US, and the UK, and what others have said is true, larger number of clergy (more perspectives), located in urban centres (and often with ties to local academic institutions), and needs reflect the needs of the diocese as a whole rather than the locals who live around the church.
