Plus, who wants to get caught in the far right lane with a major merge point coming up anyway? It's messy and frankly annoying. No thanks...

Neither driver actually has the right of way in a merge situation according to the Alberta drivers book:

Merging is done when two roadways join into one and the traffic on the main roadway must cooperate to allow enough space for vehicles to enter from the merging lane. Neither the merging vehicle nor the vehicles already on the highway have the right-of-way. Merging is a shared responsibility between the vehicles joining the roadway and the vehicles already on the roadway
