Ya when Alberta cons use the west in this context, they aren’t really including BC. They’re talking about the Prairies but if they say “the west” it sounds more principled and suggests BC agree with them

Well I guess we all have different political view points. Somewhat like an EU. Brexit

proved how separating worked out. And after tallying the benefits they are now missing, have changed their collective mind. I think we’re stronger together.

After travelling extensively as a Canadian I liked my reception. We are respected and actually loved by many other citizens.

I love the fact Quebec is part of our Canadian family. We are all richer. Together.

If broken down another way, one could tie in the Federalist, or Centrist, philosophy with how a province’s citizens regard themselves. Ontario, where the national power base exists (politically, at least) takes a more nationalistic view of itself. In other provinces, those considered the “have” provinces are more tribalistic than the “have nots”, BC excluded. Given these assumptions, my guess would be that the Maritime provinces would lean heavily Canada first as well
