You are so right. Americans need to realize that Eastern Canada is as bad as Kaliforia. However, Western Canada is a cool place (outside of Vancouver).

I too am a born and raised B.C.er - big c Conservative. I and anybody I know has NOTHING, Nothing I tell you in common with what comes out of Ottawa. We despise, hate, resent and resist all things Eastern. My hope is that the Kyoto treaty will be the catalyst that pushes the West into separting. If Ontario doesn't "get it" together this time, because of what Kyoto will do to their Province, then they will be left sucking wind Big Time. If Ontario would smarten up and Not vote in Liberals federally, the entire Country could be turned around. Other than that, the West needs to separate and join the US. We are like two entirely different species anyway. The West from the East that is. It's no different than comparing New Yorkers to Georgians or Mississippians(word?).

Hey! Watch your mouth! *I* live in Vancouver!

Sure, we're a city of potheads, gay pride parades, and have an openly gay MP, but where else are you going to find the most beautiful city in North America, where one can ski the mountains during the morning, windsurf and sunbathe at noon, hike in the afternoon and party in the evening?

Besides, the only real loony place here is the western half of Vancouver, especially the Kitsalano area. Everywhere else is sane - just look at the MPs we elect. Nearly all are Canadian Alliance.
