Western Alienation?
Comes from a long history of the West feeling ignored by the East.
Things like the NEP did spur it along in Alberta.
In any large, sparsly populated country like this, it's hard for the whole nation to feel a sense of "community"
The funny thing about Harper is that, when you consider he came from the Calgary school of thought (and the UofC econ department, which I'm also in) You'll realize there is a heavy heavy libertarian streak in it. The social conservitism in the party mainly comes from the rural religious.
