Column in the "West"?

I did a double-take when I read an article in a "national newspaper" on Dion's French citizenship. Here's the part that raised my eyebrows:

It did not take long for the issue of Mr. Dion's dual citizenship to be raised after he won the Liberal leadership on Saturday, with a newspaper column in the West saying it was "a question of loyalty" while Bourque Newswatch -- a popular news Web site -- featured a headline: "Citizen Dion: Vive La France!"

Notice that the article refers to Bourque Newswatch, but only calls Ezra Levant's column in the Calgary Sun a "column in the West." Why be so obscure about this column while being specific about a news aggregating website?
