	eG - Ed-Op - Voice: Western alienation an offensive concept
		Few things give Western Canadians as bad a name as does the hateful, opportunistic and greedy concept of “western alienation.” This is a concept championed by certain ultra-right wing zealots in the media and hysterical pseudo-celebrities like Victoria lawyer Doug Christie—founder of the Western Canada Concept.
		Western alienation is the tiresome idea that somehow British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba are unfairly shut out of Canadian policy making; that Ontarians (indeed all Canadians east of Winnipeg) are power-berserk Liberals who plot to keep the West from its rightful place on top of the Canadian food chain.
		If Western Canada’s heritage isn’t one of immigration and multiculturalism, whose is? It should also be pointed out that there are a greater percentage of visible minorities in British Columbia than there are in Ontario.

		Last month's federal election only confirmed what westerners have known all along: that Canadian politics are preordained, unalterable and the result of over one hundred years of liberal meddling, power brokering and fear mongering.
