Self-reported life satisfaction data are used in a project to triangulate with a longstanding analysis of Canadian regional differences in quality of life. The traditional analysis uses crime reports and vital statistics to demonstrate that indicators such as homicide, suicide, or divorce rise from east to west. The predominately westward migration in Canada is an explanation assumed, but untestable, from the vital statistics approach. The present study uses the 1985 Statistics Canada General Social Survey to show that the satisfaction with life reported by the respondents largely follows the east-west gradient with respect to non-economic domains. Quebec, where satisfaction was very low in the '85 survey, is a marked exception. The migration interpretation of the regional pattern finds support in multivariate analysis including region, migration status, and controls.
