i've got pretty much the same perspective, having played all around western canada, but not in the east.

the house scene is probably the strongest out here. the vast majority of the club nights are house, and we've got quite a few house producers around here putting out records - i hear that Jon Delerious is doing ok making a name for himself in europe.

drum & bass and breaks have been gaining a lot of ground, and there is a strong, though small, psytrance scene. hard house and trance were once king of the hill, but are (thank god) losing ground lately.

but techno is still not so popular for some reason. everyone and their dog comes out whenever richie hawtin comes to town, but if it's somebody they haven't heard of, they tend not to get very excited.

GIJody has a techno night in Vancouver now though. i hope that goes well for him.
