I think it has to do with the cleanliness spectrum following the geographical lines of longitude, much like the orbit of the earth around the sun. The further east in Canada you go, the cleaner you become. When I lived in BC I showered only once a week - even less than that when I visited the west coast of Vancouver Island. But showering became a daily thing when I moved to the Prairies. Now in Ontario I normally bathe twice a day, while my friends in Newfoundland almost never leave their showers. That might also help explain the very high unemployment rates in Atlantic Canada. 😆
