You did, although perhaps inadvertently.
You may want to watch your terminology in the future. In central and eastern Canada, the term "West" exclusively means Alberta (although Saskatchewan is now sometimes included, too, due to its recent Alberta-like petroleum boom).
British Columbia, while geographically more to the west than Alberta, is typically just called "British Columbia". The Yukon is not considered to be "West", either. It's referred to as "up north" or "the territories".
- grecy 13y ago> You did, although perhaps inadvertently. No, I didn't. It's funny you would give me a lecture about the terminology used for the place I live in. What I'm saying is, if you want a life that isn't so rigid and formal and prone to the kind of reactions you've given me, head out to BC/Yukon. You'll be shocked, impressed and you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner.
- Pacabel 13y agoI'm not lecturing you about anything. I'm merely telling you how the terminology you used is very ambiguous. Now, that may not be the case in the specific village that you may be from. But in general, when you're east of Manitoba, the term "West" specifically refers to Alberta, and to a lesser extent Saskatchewan. It does not refer to British Columbia, which, as I indicated earlier, is referred to as "British Columbia" or "B.C.".
