I urge you, Mr. Acton, to lobby your MP a lot (unless, of course, you are in Quadra......) and have all people with similar views lobby also. In four years you should have no reason to blame the "easterners" for myopia since it will by your "western" MPs with the power to enact change whom you must complain to. My personal prediction is that not a helluvalot will change, becuase those "western" politicians who now are involved in running the country will, on the whole, act for the betterment of all of Canada. On your next trip down east you should ask around and see what people think...odds are they really don't give a hoot and will ask you about regional disparity and why you have such a paranoia about "(grumble grumble)...those easterners!!!".
