That isn't just an Alberta issue. I live in a heavy rural area of western Ontario. The biggest portion of our population survives on beef/dairy farming. Farmers lost farms, and when the feds wanted to promote Canadian beef, they flew it in to Ottawa from Alberta, and completely forgot Western Ontario. Continuously, the ani-Ontario speal is thrown out, and the entire province is judged around Toronto. Toronto is one of 6 distinct areas, Northern Ontario miners, Western Ontario farmers, and Southern Ontario Factory workers feel little connection to the Urbanites. Western Ontario had all but 1 riding go Conservative, and the only Liberal to survive was my MP.
