It's a thing sentiment-wise but aiming for parity in a bunch of arbitrary areas seems counterproductive. For example VIA is semi-useful around Southern Ontario and Quebec but is inherently much harder to develop to a useful level in Western Canada. The disparity in naval deployments isn't because of anti-Western bias, it's because Halifax is in a more strategic location than Victoria is.

At a very abstract level I think we are too timid with nation building projects. We should have a better transportation network, and maybe pipelines and a national grid too. But we shouldn't get caught up thinking that the only fair country is one where every region is treated the same when they all have different needs and realities.
