Yeah its part of the whole western alienation, the fact that elections are sometimes decided before west coast polls are closed.
Then they should get more people. I can't help it that Ontario has 14.2million people while Sask has 1million, and Alberta 4...Toronto almost has as many people as Alberta.
Wanna know what really grinds my walnuts about places like Alberta? They bitch and moan about not being represented in the East /Federally...but the KEEP strictly voting in Conservative MPs and Provincial govt (be they PCs or the UCP combo). They are a captured electorate. The Conservative politicians KNOW this. They know that no mater what happens Albertans will, by and large, continuously vote them into power. So why would they WORK for those votes? Like compare with the East Coast provinces. They shift between the parties depending on policy and who they think will help them, so all the parties (Federally and Provincially) have to work for their votes and nothing is ever stagnant there....Alberta? Sask? 9 times out of 10 will vote in Cons who then don't help them, don't spend money on things that will help them, and they just rant and Roar about the Feds being the problem...AB is not well represented in Ottawa because the VAST majority of Canada is not some deeply Socially conservative nation...we are centre (right) on the best of days. So how Danielle Smith, Wild Rose Party amalgam got in is proof that Albertans don't know what the fuck they are doing or voting for. And then the one time in the last like 50 yrs that another party DID get in? The Cons (who have left Alberta in dire straights for decades on pretty much all public fronts) screeched about how the NDP were no good and destroyed the province...no they were actually trying to fix it and realign it towards Canadian goals, but it was going to take more than 4 years to do so....so impatient Albertans voted in Kenney and returned to their cycle of voting against their interests again, but under the veneer of conservatism which actually destroys their province but makes them feel comfortable so they don't pay attention or care.
Theres something to be said for the fact that if the election is decided before you polls are even closed it does a lot to disenfranchise people. But you know, you keep at it, im sure that dismissive attitude and solution is sure to help that problem. You also conveniently left out BC, last I check BC was in the west and BC is one of the largest provinces with considerable economic pull.
Again, I cannot help that their population is smaller. Notice the east coast doesn’t complain that their votes don’t matter?
Also, I know you don’t like me, but there’s no need to be a dick about it bub. -

Do British people not know how gross it is that you have a cookie called a "digestive" in the first place? Sounds like diarrhea medicine, not a sweet treat.
Digestives are great. We have them in Canada too, commonwealth and all.
We have British-sections in our Walmarts surprisingly...it's where I get Daddy's Brown sauce and Double Decker and Flake Chocolate bars.
