Of course people in BC resemble people in California in terms of pot smoking and partyers. But there are differences between the west and say the east or central Canada although these may now be changing with the election of Stephen Harper.<BR/>One would be the gun registry which is not supported by people in the prairies and I assume the entire interior of BC except the west coast. The registry is a Liberal idiotic attempt to control guns and it didn't work if we look at Toronto's killing spree. Banning all hand-guns! What a stupid Liberal attempt to stop something which is already illegal to own. The only people to support such a measure live in Canada's three biggest cities. The premier of Manitoba and Saskatchewan both will not honor this ban if it passed and these are NDP governments. Of course Dalton McGuinty will but he has the ideology of Central Canada. 3rd is being anti-American. I simply dont hear it as much in the west as I do from people like David Miller, the mayor of Toronto who says its their fault for all our gun problems since he is so incompetent and weak on crime. B/c its really Americans who are coming across the border and killing innocent people. I think Paul Martin's anti-american rants and ads were aimed at central Canada and the maritimes to win votes yet it backfired slightly this time b/c people are sick of it. Of course the Liberals still won 103 seats so obviously there must be a strong anti-american sentiment in some of these ridings. Take Carolyn Parrish's riding. <BR/>Granted now the CPC is in power and alot of these feelings may change but I'm talking about the past 12 years of Liberal rule which contributed to my feelings of western alienation and alot of other fellow Albertans I know. However we all feel alot more patriotic now that we have our own as PM!Emiliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11561766599794207314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10290429.post-1138757823779127552006-01-31T18:37:00.000-07:002006-01-31T18:37:00.000-07:00"How dare you."How dare I what?<I>"How dare you."</I><BR/><BR/>How dare I what?davebertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06822739409684978316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10290429.post-1138754510770797232006-01-31T17:41:00.000-07:002006-01-31T17:41:00.000-07:00How dare you.How dare you.Michael Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15225767793602935802noreply@blogger.com
