That could be either a reference to your home province, or a reference to London being the end of the world.

We aren't the end of the world, but you can see it from here.

I know there's plenty of situations like this. It's why I kept it as the region you currently live in.

You seem Manitoban to me. Or maybe Nova Scotian.

I've seen the type of pictures he posts here (fishing villages, colorful houses, the sea), he's clearly from the Maritimes.

You could have saved 80% of the characters by typing "BC" instead of "West Coast". (Gaining in accuracy while doing so.)

One funny little thing about BC is the northeast corner includes stuff on the other side of the mountains. It's more Prairie than West Coast.

I think of the actual West Coast as only being the coastal parts of BC extending a little bit inland. As a point of comparison, Reno is closer to the Pacific than a lot of the BC interior. Would somebody living in Reno say they live on the West Coast?

Well if someone on these boards lives in Fort St John they are free to say so via post.

Not too sure anyone does though

i used to live there,than moved when I was 18 down to the LM and have lived here most of my life now. Anyway when I was working in Alberta I used to use Ft St JKohn to fly in and out of to get to work. Its a crappy town but the area is actually quote pretty.

17 from the West Coast that's a lot more than i thought.

Yep, great point, which I almost mentioned already but didn't.

Another example would be someone living in remote far north Manitoba. That's way more "The North" than "The Prairies".

Similarly, my gf's family (pure Anglos with deep roots in a sea-oriented town on the shores of the Gulf of St. Lawrence) should probably answer "Maritimes" rather than "Quebec". (If the goal is to get some sort of cultural sample.)

Most of Manitoba isn't the Prairies, not just the far north. I would think that the Canadian Shield is by far the largest region, followed by what we'd generally call the Prairies (which could be subdivided into several regions) and then by the Hudson's Bay Lowlands.
