the west. We made some money in the oil and gas industry

Wrong. You're thinking MID-west. Get over the Rockies and we'll talk.

BC is Pacific, not the west. Alberta is the west.

I also studied and worked in northern BC in forestry and lived on the coastal islands as a hippie. Please don't presume to know me. Did you move to BC? That's a very un-BC thing to say in my experience of living there and being from somewhere else.

I have also in my fifty years of life, thirty five of which I spent travelling and living in many different places and provinces, most west of Manitoba and east of Quebec, never ever once have I heard Alberta and Sask called the mid west. Never.
