Le contexte étant canadien, il se pourrait que le mot soit un canadianisme, servant à qualifier un Canadien habitant dans l’ouest du pays, par opposition aux Québécois et aux habitants des provinces de l’Est. Le mot pourrait aussi être employé aux États-Unis. (Mot anglais, "de l’Ouest"). Habitant de l’ouest, par extension, de l’ouest du Canada ou des États-Unis. 2, record 1, French, - Westerner

Pour combler une lacune peut-être seulement par goût de valorisation sociale, le français a emprunté le terme Westerner à l'anglais. C'est un emprunt direct, c'est-à-dire sans modification selon les critères de la langue d’arrivée. Un mot presque synonyme existe déjà en français, mais il est teint d’une connotation particulière en politique : un "occidental" est un habitant de l'Occident(l'Europe de l'Ouest, les États-Unis et, plus généralement, les membres de l'OTAN). 2, record 1, French, - Westerner
