My father was a westerner. I have family all over the West. Some with clout, too. The furthest West that I have been on land in Canada is the Yukon Alaska border to the West of Dawson.
The farthest East that I've experienced was sailing from small port to small port all the way around Newfoundland during the summer of 1974, in a small coastal warship. I sure met a pile of really decent Newfs. I will add, though, that it took place before their fishery was destroyed and a four century way of life was shattered. Even so, the Newfs that I meet in my travels are still decent folk. I've spent a whole lot of time in Nova Scotia, vacations on "the Island" and lots of touring around New Brunswick. I have seriously considered that I would like to retire on the Fundy shore ... maybe around Alma. My city mouse spouse might suffer, though but I have zero need for cities.
