Comments

Whoever wrote this must be from the west. Ontario is never considered part of the East to those who live in the Maritimes. Kirjtc2 18:49, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Or it was someone who is objective to the entire issue and simply said that anything that isn't Western Canada is by default Eastern Canada. Considering more people live in BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba than in NB, NS and PEI, I tend to think the statements that have been made are accurate. --Kmsiever 19:09, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Eastern Canada does not generally include Ontario and Quebec unless we are referring in a general, sweeping, all-inclusive way from a Western perspective (or, anything other than Eastern-Canadian). There is no source of information listed here that explains why Ontario and Quebec are part of "Eastern Canada." I am open to being convinced, but am not convinced at the moment. --Susiebowers 20:21, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I live in Ontario and in school, here, they teach us asa Ontario being in Eastern. Never in Central.(In fact, my geo teacher bans us from using that term, Central Canada) But don't trust me, I'm just a 12-year old kid. Pie is good ^{(Apple is the best)} 15:07, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If everything west of the Manitoba/Ontario border is Western Canada, then by definition what's east of it must be Eastern Canada. The Prairies don't include BC but Western Canada does, just like Central/Atlantic. --208.38.59.163 (talk) 22:14, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it's very simple, Ontario IS eastern, and the Maritime provinces are also eastern, but culturally, they are "Atlantic". Basically, the Maritimes are like the New England of Canada, versus Ontario's New York (sorry for the US analogy, but you know what I mean). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.226.60.125 (talk) 03:17, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Eastern Canada

Eastern Canada may have a lot of fishing as a major industry in here due to the coastal region.
