The funny thing of all this, is that I agree with you whole-heartedly. Especially with your last statement. As for alienation, I always thought that it ran the other direction. Those of us who live/work in the GTA have always been target of Western scorn. Particularly from a lot of people who have 'gone out west' from here. (in this respect I am referring specifically to my brother who, like every convert, is almost religious in his denouncement of the east).
I don't think that it is 'asshole-ish' to state that some consideration needs to be given, and I would ask that I , and my fellow constituants be given this consideration.
