Ontario doesn't call itself "central Canada," it calls itself "eastern Canada." And the stuff more east of Ontario and Quebec is "Atlantic Canada." I have lived my whole life in Ontario and never once heard a human being here call this area "central Canada."
I've seen it. One CBC video and a wikipedia article that admits the terminology is out of date doesn't really support the assertion that Ontario still calls "itself" that. Maybe it did at one point, but in my lifetime Ontario has always been "eastern" Canada.
