Better yet: Manitoba is only “Western Canada” if you’re in Toronto or farther east. Ask people from Manitoba where they are and they’ll tell you they’re in the centre of Canada and Western Canada is everything from Saskatchewan on, which is damn fucking right if you look at an actual map. And then tell people in Québec you’re from Manitoba or Saskatchewan and they’ll say “Oh, like you’re from the Midwest?” Which is some sort of frequent Mandela effect-type misapplication of a purely American term by people for whom it’s all just Anglophone flyover country anyways.
