A little history of the word to blunt your eastern-centric rant. The original pronunciation is "ky-ote". "Ky-oh-tee" only crept in because of the cartoon character Wyle. E. Coyotee. Generations of kids grew up watching the Bugs & Road Runner Show and heard it pronounced "ky-oh-tee" so often that it stuck. The dictionary " -tee" pronunciation acknowledges this commonly used bastardization of the original (words evolve for all sorts of reasons) and without an explanation you might be fooled into believing it is the real one.
Of course, as has been noted, Ontario people and city folk are more likely to use the "ky-oh-tee" version which could mean those two demographics watch more baby cartoons than the rest of us.
And then there's Americans with "permit"... As in "do you have a permit (per-mit) for that?" but pronounced like the verb (I permit you to go on my property). We distinguish between the verb and noun while they do not.
It is when you're a westerner.................but don't worry cause most people I know distinguish between easterners and maritimers.........we generally get along OK with maritimers....
Ontario is only not considered eastern when you're from Ontario..........then it is the center of the universe...........

Tell em brother. I'd stand behind you in a bar fight for no other reason than you know your chit.
On to the maritimes provinces thing.... out West in God's country we have 2 differentiations.... anything left of the Manitoba/Ontario line is a Westerner and someone we'd go to war for. Right of that.... well... those are foreigners.

Wow. So because people don't talk the same as you it's evil and an infection? Have you ever traveled around or worked with English speaking people from different countries? It's rather interesting when you have a Canadian, an American, a Brit, and an Aussie sitting at a table. All using the same language just different ways. It's even more fun after a few beers and most sentences have to be repeated because you didn't understand what they were saying.
As for the East vs West thing... grow up.
BC, AB, SK, MB, ON, QC, NB, NS, NL (and the others), share a proportionate number of slobs, dickheads, azzholes, and also top notch outdoorsmen... we are all Canadian... and as it is in all of our best interest to protect our hunting/firearms heritage, I'd suggest that we cultivate unity and not division... highlight our similarities not our differences.
