Canadian regionalism 1 (the west) 2017-11-23 5:44:00 pm. Some scholars believe canadian politics is based on different groups with different values and interests: challenges with dealing with national identity, but also bind the different regions together. Agenda for regionalism: western alienation, is it generated by the geography, or is it created externally, northern canada, western alienation in that region. What is regionalism: psychological attachment to region, political mobilization, institutionalization, urban/rural divide and the vote. Different regions may vote in a specific way: salience. Only regionalism if the people in the region politically mobilize for a topic that is important to those within the region: normative political campaign, people assert that their region exists allows them to gain more power. Toronto wants special legislation that just applies to them: believe it is unique region that is getting exploited by the rest of ontario. Share efficiency as we grow larger: as countries grow larger, they develop more advanced cultures.
