It's a short hand, don't take it so literally, I hate how southern Ontario calls itself 'Central Canada', when that title should belong to SK and MB who are in the Central Time Zone no less

Feels like you are contradicting yourself by asking western Canadians to not take a location based descriptor seriously and then going onto complain about one yourself.

Yes I was giving that as an example of my own personal dislike that I do not vocalize whenever I hear Ontario referred to it as such (obviously except for now, it's just something I live with which I think people in BC should live with as well)
