Re: Looking at the Canadian map, basically the part of the country where the population was overwhelmingly comprised of people with multiple generations in Canada a century ago. "Canadian" responses in the West is lower because it was mostly populated via direct immigration from Britain and Europe in the early 20th century.

This is one of the reasons - in addition to physical geography - why I think the east/west divide in sharper in Canada than in the US. While direct immigration occurred in the West (such as British Mormon immigration to Utah, or Irish and Italians in San Francisco, Scandinavians to the Pacific Northwest etc.), they were probably outnumbered by westward migration of native born Americans.
