	Western Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Western Canada is a geographic region of Canada, generally considered to be west of the province of Ontario, although its precise definition is a source of controversy (see below).
		The combined population of Western Canada as of 2005 is nearly 10 million, including approximately 4.3 million in British Columbia, 3.3 million in Alberta, just under 1.0 million in Saskatchewan and 1.2 million in Manitoba.
		In Canadian politics, the term 'The West' is often used as shorthand for the supposedly Conservative leanings of Western Canadians, as contrasted with the supposed liberalism of Central Canada.

	Western Canada Hockey League - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Western Canada Hockey League (WCHL), founded in 1921, was a major professional ice hockey league originally based in the prairies of Canada.
		Instead of the two western leagues playing off to see who would play the NHL champion for the Stanley Cup, the president of the PCHA, Frank Patrick, insisted that the NHL champion had to play the winner of the Pacific Coast Hockey Association first.
		This would be the pinnacle and shining moment for the Western Canada Hockey League as Victoria became the first non-NHL team to win the Stanley Cup since the formation of the NHL in 1917.

	Western Protest - Accommodation - The Canadian West - Exhibitions - Library and Archives Canada
		Formerly part of the North-West Territories (which was demarcated from the rest of Canada in 1875), the two Prairie provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan attained provincehood in 1905, but did not obtain control of their own natural resources until 1930.
		By the First World War, western Canadians were generally suspicious of the federal government, which seemed more concerned with pandering to the interests of the more heavily-populated "Ottawa-Montreal-Toronto triangle" than other parts of the country.
		When Prime Minister Robert Borden granted a military exemption to western farmers in 1917, and then reneged on his promise several weeks later, the already-established pattern of Western protest was reinforced.
