You are making a whacking great assumption that is grossly in error that other Canadians coast-to-coast don't work as hard as you do. You are just plain wrong. I recommend that you travel it and learn about your country close up. Don't fly across it. See it up close, on the ground and spend some time at it. You will be sheepishly embarrassed at your current attitude to your non-Western countrymen.

I agree I have worked with some good ones, what is the over all view of the West from the perception of the East? There is a large percentage of Ont./Que. people that come to work out West, that I've been around, admit to having a change of opinion of the West after working here. ,
