Because it _is_ central Canada? The Atlantic provinces are Canada East.
- mthoms 10y agoYou say that so definitively. Like anyone is stupid to even question it. But the Central Canada thing is merely a historical artifact and has no real basis in, well you know, actual geographic location. Quebec actually extends farther east than all other provinces (except Newfoundland). In other words, it's farther east than 3 out 4 so called "Atlantic" or "Eastern" provinces.
- kahnpro 10y agoIt's a mix of geography, demographics, and history. But I say it definitivly because it's not just something I've made up or decided... it's a pretty well known designation. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Canada https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Canada
- wattt 10y agoThe center of Canada is Winnipeg.
- kahnpro 10y agoThere's the geographic centre, and there's the region known as Central Canada. Two different things. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Canada https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Canada
