Gotta tell y'all that I work for the province and am really familiar with land. What Tracy was referring to is called the principal meridian, not to be confused with the prime meridian which is in England.
The principal meridian is the center of Manitoba, which also happens to be the centre of Canada. There is actually a monument ( stone cairn ) marking the site on the Trans Canada hwy, just west of Headingly. And if you're observant, you will notice that the intersecting roads to the TCH are, for example 2W, 3W, 4W. which means 2 miles west of the pm, 3 miles west of the pm. The same thing goes for east of the PM except that the description read 2E, 3E, you get the drift. I could go on and on. but ( big yawn by y'all, ) it's only interesting for those who work with it or those that actually own the land.

Well there you have it, it is in Manitoba, west of Winnipeg so anything east of Landmark is eastern Canada, and anything west of Landmark is western Canada

Guess I will weigh in my two cents, the center of canada is the border of Manitoba and Ontario lol Ontario on out to the Maritimes is East. Anything west of The Manitoba border is Out West.

BECAUSE TORONTO IS THE CENTRE OF THE KNOWN UNIVERSE !   ;D

nah.. i'm in Mississauga which is west of the city... we're actually the centre of the known universe, we just don't like to brag about it like T.O. does.. lol.. 

Deluded easterners  ::)  must be that smog corroding their geographic abilities to see that Winnipeg is the centre of All .... Manitoba does mean "where the [great] spirit lives" and where else but in the centre (via the navel of course) would the spirit live ?
