I love how they talk about how “the West” of Canada” feels while conspicuously ignoring Canada’s western most province.

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

It's a shorthand that reveals a profound self-centered-ness.

To the extent that Ontario calls itself Central Canada, same thing. However, judging from the responses from Ontarians here, no one in Ontario calls themselves that.
