Just a word of caution here.  Just because it's thick, doesn't
mean it's heavy duty electrically.  A few years ago I sold one
of these 'heavy duty' cords and got a standard extension cord
from a hardware store because the AMP rating on the standard
one was twice the rating of the 'heavy duty' one.  Besides, the
thick end on the plug made it difficult to plug it into the receptacle.
The supplied cord was not very long either, about 6 feet I think.

<< All this talk about the attached electric cord on the Canadian Westy
 reminded me of something I've wondered. Did the U.S. Westies come new
 with an electric cord from the factory, or was there one available from
 the dealer?

there was a (length not memorized) heavy duty electrical cord that was
supplied w/ the US westies.
