VANCOUVER—It turns out there’s something to the saying “West Coast best coast.” A majority of British Columbians feel more attuned to their southern American neighbours than to their Canadian counterparts, according to a new online survey by Angus Reid Institute. “Vancouver is the most American city outside of America,” said Raymond, head of research and analysis at the commission. The Cascadia region takes its name from the Cascade Mountains, which run from British Columbia in the north to California in the south. A motorist on the I5 in Washington state drives by the concrete markers that mean far less to British Columbians than the border between B.C. The Angus Reid survey showed 35 per cent of Albertans left B.C.
